No matter how Chongzhen didn't believe it, the facts were in front of him, and now Xiangyang City had fallen into the hands of the Dongjiang Army. Fastest updates

Xiangyang City is the gateway to Huguang, and now the defenders of Huguang cities are seriously insufficient, and if the Dongjiang army takes the opportunity to drive straight in, it will inevitably be captured.

Chongzhen frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally had to reluctantly order that the army that had just arrived in Nanyang City immediately withdraw to Xiangyang City and shock the Dongjiang army.

Wu Chengen didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately sent an expedited fast horse to read Chongzhen's will.

The old nest was occupied by the Dongjiang army, and the generals who led the army in the imperial court were even more anxious than Chongzhen after learning that the Dongjiang army had occupied Xiangyang City. Without saying a word, he immediately withdrew his troops back to Huguang.

Ye County Mao Mansion.

"Qiqi General Army, the imperial army of Nanyang Mansion has retreated." The scout knelt on one knee and bowed.

Mao Wenlong nodded to show that he knew, and after waving his hand to let the scouts retreat, he said to Hong Chengchou in a cruel voice: "Should we send off this hastily withdrawn imperial army?" ”

Hong Chengchou chuckled when he heard this: "The courtesies are still exchanged, and if the guests are leaving, if we don't send them off, wouldn't it seem that we are too cold." ”

Mao Wenlong said in a heheyin voice: "Then send them off lively." ”

On the same day, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi were ordered by Mao Wenlong to lead 20,000 troops to ambush the retreating imperial army.

In order to strike Chongzhen hard, Mao Wenlong ordered people to go to Nanyang to let the defenders there cooperate with Kong Youde and Shang Kexi to launch a sneak attack on the imperial army.

Mao Wenlong knew very well that this imperial army that was in a hurry to rush back to Huguang did not dare to delay in Henan, and it was expected that they would not dare to stop to meet the battle. So he wasn't worried about Kong Youde at all, and the outcome was already predictable.

Henan's encirclement finally broke through, and Mao Wenlong was able to breathe. Now only Xuzhou is still in trouble, and the imperial army from Nanjing is still confronting the Dongjiang army led by Chen Qiyu.

However, the situation on Lu Xiangsheng and Li Zicheng's side began to become clear, Lu Xiangsheng was indeed worthy of being a fierce general, and in less than half a month, he began to press Li Zicheng's army to fight. Seeing that Li Zicheng's defeat has been decided.

After Mao Wenlong learned the news, he smiled and said, "It's time to meet and talk to Li Zicheng." ”

On the same day, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou, escorted by 100 personal guards, traveled day and night, and arrived at Runing Mansion two days later.

After arriving at Runing Mansion, Mao Wenlong immediately posted a post inviting Li Zicheng to come out for an interview.

Although Li Zicheng wondered what Mao Wenlong was thinking, he was still invited to go to the appointment.

The two met on the outskirts of Runing Mansion.

A makeshift tent stood in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies, Mao Wenlong took two personal guards, Li Zicheng also only brought two personal guards, and the six people entered the big tent at the same time.

Mao Wenlong took the lead in clenching his fists and laughed: "Don't come to King Chuang." ”

Li Zicheng was also polite, he hugged his fists and smiled: "It has been two years since the last time I said goodbye to the general soldiers in Ye County, and it is really rare to get together with the general soldiers here again today." ”

The two of them were polite, and Mao Wenlong went directly to the topic, he chuckled: "I invited King Chuang to come over this time, I want to ask, I wonder if King Chuang is interested in us working together to fight back the army of the imperial court?" ”

Li Zicheng was quite surprised, and after a little hesitation, he asked tentatively: "I don't know what the purpose of the general army is?" ”

Mao Wenlong shrugged his shoulders and said very calmly: "The reason is very simple, the imperial court is our common enemy. Although there is friction between us, this little friction between us is nothing compared to the imperial court. So after learning that King Chuang's situation is not good now, I specially came to greet him, are you interested in cooperating? ”

Li Zicheng seemed to remember the dumb loss he had suffered last time, he hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask: "I don't know what the conditions of the general soldier are?" ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Li Zicheng and said coldly: "It's very simple, after repelling the imperial army, the grain that was robbed by you before will belong to you, and I will not pursue it." And all the food of the imperial army must be returned to me. ”

Li Zicheng immediately sneered and said: "The chief soldier has no sincerity at all!" At least half of the food of the imperial army will be distributed to us, and if you can, we will cooperate, and if the general army cannot do it, then I will immediately withdraw the troops and return to Shaanxi with my food. I believe that Lu Xiangsheng will not leave just now, and will definitely continue to fight in your Henan border, and then you will be the chief soldier and you will face the army of the imperial court. ”

After understanding Mao Wenlong's original intention, Li Zicheng began to weigh it, but he found that Mao Wenlong was not qualified to negotiate terms with him at all. And he, Li Zicheng, stayed here to fight for life and death with the imperial army, for the food that the imperial army had at the moment.

Although the defeat has now appeared, it is a big deal that he pats his ass and leaves, leaving this mess behind Mao Wenlong has to bear it.

Mao Wenlong seemed to have expected Li Zicheng to have this idea, and he sneered: "Does King Chuang think that I have to cooperate with you?" ”

Li Zicheng said contemptuously: "Could it be that the general soldier has another choice now?" ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly took out a letter from his arms, then handed it to Li Zicheng, and motioned for him to take a look.

Li Zicheng opened the letter with doubts and looked at it, and his face immediately changed.

The letter that Mao Wenlong gave him was the letter that Chongzhen wrote to Mao Wenlong at that time, preparing to seal him as the king of the opposite sex.

Mao Wenlong saw Li Zicheng's face change greatly, and sneered: "King Chuang now thinks I have any other choice?" ”

Li Zicheng's face changed, and he did not suspect that the letter was fake, because Mao Wenlong did not need to use such a small means to deceive people at all.

The current situation is that once Mao Wenlong really accepts Chongzhen's recruitment, then he Li Zicheng will have no way out, and he will face the blows of Mao Wenlong and the imperial court alone, and there will be no way to survive at all.

After struggling and hesitating, Li Zicheng said helplessly: "Maybe you are right, then we will cooperate according to your conditions!" ”

Li Zicheng, who was still proud just now, suddenly withered. At this moment, it has become that he is not qualified to negotiate conditions with Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong sneered: "Just now, as for now, I have changed my mind." If you want to continue to cooperate, you can do it, but you must hand over half of the food you have stolen first, otherwise you will not talk. ”

"You...... You sit on the ground and start the price. Li Zicheng was not calm now, and rushed out.

"Do you have any other choice?" Mao Wenlong contemptuously sent this sentence back to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was so angry that his lungs were about to burst at this moment, but he didn't dare to collide with Mao Wenlong again. As he said before, at this moment, he was not qualified to negotiate conditions with Mao Wenlong, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, Li Zicheng finally accepted Mao Wenlong's cooperation unconditionally.
