In the first battle of Jixian, Lu Shi not only changed the fate of tens of millions of people in Shaanxi, but at the same time, he also changed the fate of two people who were praised by many royal literati in later generations, those two people were Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng.

Gao Yingxiang died, and those who were buried with him were 100,000 elites, as well as the leaders of the fifth battalion of the Gezuo, as well as the collapse of the sky, as well as the old Huihui, and countless leaders of the rebel army who caused trouble in the Ming Dynasty in the next few years and killed countless people.

In this way, Lu Shi not only changed the history of Shaanxi, changed the fate of tens of millions of people, in fact, but also changed the history of the late Ming Dynasty, but for the Ming Emperor Chongzhen, I just don't know whether it is lucky or more unlucky. Because, Gao Yingxiang died, but Li Zicheng did not die, but was pushed to the front of history by Lu Shi prematurely. At the same time, a more powerful Lu Shi and his army appeared.

Now Li Zicheng is unlucky, because, in the first battle of Jixian, his battalion head, as the main force of Gao Yingxiang's main force, was arranged to cross the array of the two armies when the two armies attacked Jixian and the warehouse fortress, forcibly crossed the Yellow River and killed Shaanxi, and opened up the road for the whole army. However, the result was a failure of course, under the strong backing of the Lu Shi Iron and Steel Plant, under the number of tigers that made Li Zicheng terrifying and the infinitely powerful explosive package, every time he forced his crossing came to naught, not only did not achieve the purpose of the original battle, but also lost a lot of his old foundation, Li Zicheng is really broken now.

The saddest thing is that after the destruction of the city in Ji County, he was also left outside the city by Gao Yingxiang, as a force to prevent a sudden counterattack in the fortress of Lu Shi's warehouse, and could not participate in the feast of Ji County's looting.

This was something that Gao Yingxiang had some thoughts in his heart at that time, first, he saw that although his nephew was submissive to him on the surface, he secretly had some small actions that worried him, and secondly, during this period of time, although Li Zicheng tried his best to hide his strength, but also made Gao Yingxiang feel his true strength.

Don't blame Gao Yingxiang for being narrow-minded and suspicious, because, in this chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the pouring fire in the pole rogue is endless, in order to survive, not only to fight with the official army, to fight with the township of the gentry and landlords, but also to always fight with the same kind of pole with their own strength, if you don't fight, there is only a dead end.

However, Li Zicheng is also lucky, because, when the city gates on all sides of Ji County exploded, Li Zicheng's first reaction was his luck, because he knew a thing, an idiom - jade is burned. And he was right outside the city.

In fact, when he was left outside the city, he also suffered from gains and losses in his heart, because he always felt a kind of uneasiness, which is the so-called sixth sense.

The reason why he felt uneasy was that Lu Shi had begun to show the nature of a hero, and his subordinates would never give up Ji County easily, especially in his opinion, Lu Shi's subordinates defending Ji County had not yet reached the point of exhaustion, so the occupation of Ji County may still have many changes.

However, Li Zicheng just thought that there were still variables in this matter, and he really didn't think of anything else.

And when his subordinate Tian Jianxiu suddenly ran over in a panic and quietly told himself that Lu Shi's subordinates suddenly desperately snatched the north gate and succeeded in seizing the door, this sense of danger was even stronger.

After a while, even his own cronies and spies rushed to report the secret, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were suddenly embarrassed and rushed out of the city under the protection of their own men, regardless of their subordinates who had stayed outside the city, and when they fled directly into the wilderness, Li Zicheng was already shocked, because he suddenly remembered the huge power of the explosive bag in Lu Shi's hand.

"What to do." Tian Jianxiu also felt the crisis, and asked Li Zicheng in a low voice at this time. "Do you want to inform King Gao Chuang?"

Li Zicheng's answer was: "Let's go." ”

This answer made Tian Jianxiu feel inexplicable, Li Zicheng's words seemed to be answering his own question, but it seemed to be saying another question

At this time, the explosion of the four doors had already occurred. When all the people became dumbfounded in the face of these four explosions, Li Zicheng didn't panic at all.

When the explosion in Ji County rang out, Li Zicheng felt sorry for those poles sacrificed in vain, and at the same time, he actually felt a kind of secret happiness, especially feeling that the sky above his head was not as dim as he imagined that was covered by thick smoke and fire, but a relaxed feeling of clearing the dark clouds and moving away the mountains.

Yes, this fire, this explosion in the sky, made the uncle on his head no longer physiological, and let the robes that threaten him at all times also disappear together, according to this reason, in fact, in his heart, he also secretly thanked Lu Shi.

According to Lu Shi's strength, in this battle of Weinan, the whole of Shaanxi will fall under his control, and according to his temperament, he will bury his head and build a home for those mud-legged untouchables. Before the backyard was unstable, he would never take another step out of Shaanxi.

Especially he is a person, sometimes he is too unambitious, which can be seen from the causes of the previous battles of Lu Shi, as long as you don't provoke him, he will never attack others, in this regard, Lu Shi is too conservative, such a person, in fact, there is no harm.

And Lu Shi is not out of Shaanxi, then, from now on, in this Shanxi, it will be his own world, no matter what, in addition to luck, he is definitely a hundred times stronger than Lu Shi's hairy boy, as long as he seizes this rare opportunity, it is not impossible to achieve a great career, at least, he will not be worse than Lu Shi.

When Li Zicheng said, "Let's go", none of Li Zicheng's subordinates opposed this decision, not only did no one object, but one by one, they carried all the heavy treasures they had worked so hard to loot on their backs as quickly as possible. Prepare to gallop towards the east.

At this time, Gao Yigong stepped forward, gave Li Zicheng a deep salute on horseback, and said eagerly: "Do you want to explain to Mrs." ”

The relationship between Gao Yingxiang and Mrs. Gao is well known, when Gao Yingxiang married her to Li Zicheng, there was a sense of co-optation, more checks and balances and surveillance, in this way, under Gao Yingxiang's deliberate arrangement and support, Mrs. Gao has formed an independent faction in Li Zicheng's team, which is internal, everyone knows it, if you see Li Zicheng fleeing alone regardless of King Da Chuang, maybe the separation between their husband and wife will be greater in the future, which will be a big hidden danger in Li Zicheng's team.

Li Zicheng frowned and was silent in thought.

Seeing this, Tian Jianxiu hurriedly stepped forward, and did not say anything else, but suggested in a low voice: "The elite of the various battalions of the army has been exhausted in Ji County, but there are still more than 100,000 old and weak departments outside the city, although they are old and weak, but they are also a force, at this time, it is the group of dragons without a leader, and now, taking advantage of the fact that Lu Shi's main reinforcements have not arrived, and there is no opportunity to cross the river to pursue us, how about we contain them?" ”

This proposal made Li Zicheng's eyes light up, and he secretly hated himself at that time, why didn't he think of this festival? That's right, at a time when this group of dragons has no leader, it is the right time to gather these ownerless armies outside the city and become their own troops, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can you miss it? Now, as long as you climb high and shout, you can easily gather an army of more than 100,000 people, and at this time, you will suddenly have the capital to compete with Lu Shi.

At this time, most of the people outside the city run by this group of bereaved dogs are Gao Yingxiang's subordinates, so for those who may have different ideas, using Mrs. Gao's trump card to appease them will definitely play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort.

"Chief Sentinel Liu Ye, you quickly organize people and horses to guard along the river, and you must not let a thief cross the river." Li Zicheng quickly issued an order.

Liu Zhongmin agreed unequivocally, and immediately beckoned a group of cronies around him who looked nervous, gathered people and horses around him to set up a defensive position along the river, and nervously guarded Lu Shi's men to cross the river to pursue.

"See Xiu, you quickly lead people around to gather the ownerless people and horses, and form a team on the spot." Tian Jianxiu's eyes immediately lit up and he agreed, turned around and went to execute.

"Li Guo, you take your men, um." After thinking about it, he came again: "Bring Double Happiness Zhang Ding with you, follow Jianxiu, if there is something wrong, you know what to do." ”

Li Guo has always been the most loyal to Li Zicheng, of course he knows how to do it, and immediately roared away with a team of the most elite and fierce soldiers.

"Yigong, you follow me to see your sister."

Gao Yigong bowed down and agreed, followed Li Zicheng behind him, and ran towards the old camp behind the mountain.

The matter of collecting the ownerless horse is simple to the limit, in the case that everyone has lost the leader, when everyone is panicking all day and does not know where to go, as long as one person stands up and points out a way for everyone, the herd effect will be produced immediately, not to mention that Li Zicheng's prestige is there, and everyone will of course follow.

Especially among these people, more than half of them are Gao Yingxiang's old department, when Mrs. Gao sees that the ending is irreversible, then, helping her husband has become the only choice, after all, a woman, in the social environment at the time, it is impossible to achieve great things, so, with her appeasement, those Gao Yingxiang's old departments are all willing to invest in Li Zicheng, in fact, Mrs. Gao's command. In this way, the strength of Mrs. Gao's faction has risen sharply, but Li Zicheng did not expect it. However, now is not the time to play tricks, and it is important to be consistent with the outside world.

After the war, things are complicated, but it is really Lu Shi's temperament, or God really takes care of it, Li Zicheng saw Lu Shi's unique figure appear on the edge of the Yellow River from a distance several times, but he just didn't send troops to cross the river, which made Li Zicheng despise Lu Shi After a while, he was also secretly glad that Lu Shi really crossed the river at this time, not to mention taking the whole army to fight with him, as long as he sent thousands of military horses, then his side would collapse immediately.

With this complicated mood, Li Zicheng finally finished straightening out the remnants of the pole within a few days, and then took his cronies to personally cut off the back, and slowly disappeared behind the dripping loess valley behind the bank of the Yellow River, heading towards the thousands of mountains at the junction of Shanxi and Henan.

There, he had to recuperate, he had to lick his wounds, and then he would fight with Lu Shi.
