Yang Sichang laughed and said very kindly: "Taibao is dedicated to the country, and it is indeed the mainstay of the country. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" pointed to the villagers and elders on the side of the road, Yang Sichang said: "Taibao is famous all over the world, these fathers and elders are here to welcome Taibao, Taibao followed me to the front of the Ten Mile Pavilion to rest, I for Taibao to pick up the wind." ”

Li Zhi saw that Yang Sichang was not on the official show at all, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on the superintendent's arrangement." ”

Yang Sichang said with a smile: "The villagers have prepared pigs and sheep to reward the soldiers and horses of the Taibao, and the Taibao will let the soldiers set up camp and bury the stove." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's great!" ”

Yang Sichang walked forward with Li Zhi and the officers for a few minutes and arrived at a small town called Shili Pavilion. There was a gong and drum team to welcome Li Zhi, and the sound of gongs and drums shook the sky.

Yang Sichang took Li Zhi into a large courtyard, and a banquet had already been set up in the main hall of the courtyard.

The governors, general soldiers and two local village elders on Yang Sichang's side were on the left, and the regiment commanders and camp tents on Li Zhi's side were on the right and sat on the banquet. Yang Sichang asked the regiment commander, battalion commander, governor, and general soldiers under Li Zhi to protest, which was a courtesy to Li Zhi.

Soon, Yang Sichang's personal guards brought all kinds of wine and food.

At this time, it is considered to be in the military, and everything should be simple. But Yang Sichang's banquet for Li Zhi was still very rich. What kind of donkey meat is roasted, braised turtle meat, most of them are wild meat in the mountains, and there should be one.

Yang Sichang opened the five jars of Jinhua wine and raised his glass to Li Zhi from time to time. He was originally born as a Jinshi, and his IQ was originally extremely high, and he was very good at talking, and he always came out with wonderful words, which made the atmosphere of the banquet very warm. Li Zhi drank a lot of wine, and his face gradually turned red.

Yang Sichang saw that the atmosphere of the banquet was good, and said to Li Zhi: "Taibao, the weather is getting colder and colder now, and it is really not suitable to use soldiers. It is better for the Taibao to be stationed in Xiangyang for a few months, and then fight the thieves in the spring of the next year! ”

Hearing Yang Sichang's words, Li Zhi suddenly woke up.

This sentence is the key to this banquet. Yang Sichang was so warm and cordial to Li Zhi in order to let Li Zhi suspend the use of troops. If Li Zhi kills all directions as soon as he comes up, the credit will be all Li Zhi's, and the previous defeat seems to be because Yang Sichang and others are too mediocre. If Li Zhi stayed in Xiangyang for half a year and the battle situation gradually changed, Yang Sichang and the others would not seem too incompetent, and the credit would be Yang Sichang's strategy.

No matter how Zhang Xianzhong develops and grows in the past six months, no matter whether Li Zhi can defeat Zhang Xianzhong after half a year, the first thing Yang Sichang has to ensure is to make himself appear competent. Therefore, he asked Li Zhi to suspend the use of troops.

If Li Zhi was just a general and guerrilla as in the past, under the pressure of Yang Sichang, the commander of Pingkou, he could only submit to orders and advance and retreat with the army. Even if he had to be dragged by the superintendent until a few months or half a year before he started fighting, even if he wanted to put all the credit on Yang Sichang, Li Zhi could only do it.

But today's Li Zhi is no longer a small role that Yang Sichang can rub. Li Zhi is the crown prince and the governor of Zhengyipin, and his official position is not lower than that of Yang Sichang. And now that the Son of Heaven has ordered Li Zhi to fight in Sichuan, he believes that Li Zhi can quell the thief, and the Son of Heaven no longer believes in Yang Sichang.

The current Li Zhi, of course, will not delay the fighter in Xiangyang for Yang Sichang's selfish interests.

Li Zhi put down the wine glass and said slowly: "Inspector Mingjian." The official only left 4,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city in Tianjin, and the defense was weak. If the Dongnu soldiers and horses break through this winter, the official's Fanjiazhuang is in danger of being breached. The battle against the thieves cannot be delayed for a long time, but must be resolved quickly. ”

Yang Sichang laughed and said: "Zuo Dudu said that he laughed, Dongnu is not good at attacking cities, everyone knows it. At that time, Dolgon's 60,000 men besieged the city of Jinan, which was guarded by 1,000 people, for several months, but they could not take it. Zuo Dudu's soldiers and horses are the strongest soldiers in the world, and 4,000 people guarding Fanjiazhuang are like golden soup iron buckets, and Dongnu can't beat them for a year. If there is really an alarm in the north, the governor of the left capital can calmly return to help, how can there be a quick battle? ”

Li Zhi turned his mouth and said: "The officials are all northerners, and the winter in Sichuan is not cold for the soldiers under his command, and it is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy." If it is delayed until spring and summer, I am afraid that it will be contaminated with southern miasma and get sick. ”

Yang Sichang thought for a while, put down his wine glass, and said very directly: "Can Governor Zuo know the emotions of the generals in the army?" If Zuo Dudu led the army to break the enemy at this time, the generals who fought hard for a year in eastern Sichuan and Chuxi would be regarded as wine bags and rice bags by the world. Zuo Du Governor has just arrived, and it can be said that no one in the army is willing to make meritorious service to Zuo Du Du at this time. ”

"Zuo Dudu is dedicated to meritorious service, but he doesn't know that meritorious service at this time is something that offends people!"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, all the governors and general soldiers sitting on the left looked at Li Zhi. Although these generals are the generals of the defeated army, they are still a large group. Yang Sichang now represents the interests of these soldiers, and his words have been very straightforward - they are very reluctant to attack them with the credit of the newcomer Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled and said lightly: "This official has gone all the way, from a hundred households to the governor of the left capital, and there are not 10,000 people who have offended, but there are 1,000 people, and I don't care about offending dozens of people again." ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the generals led by Yuan Jixian, the governor of Xunyang, all had dark faces. Zhang Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Baoding, had a seizure on the spot.

"Tianjin General Soldier is so big, if you don't have our help, you can fight against Zhang Xianzhong alone?"

Li Zhi looked at Zhang Yingyuan and was silent.

Yang Sichang frowned, and followed Zhang Yingyuan's words and said:

"Does the Governor of Zuo know? Zhang Xianzhong is good at entrapping traitors. Wherever the thief went, the traitors volunteered to be the eyes and ears of the thief. As soon as my army moves, although it is thousands of miles away, the day and night of the sacrifice of thieves can be known. ”

"If the Governor of Zuo Du insists on going his own way, I am afraid that all the armies will not cooperate with Governor Zuo. When the time comes, the general chases Zhang Xianzhong in the mountains of eastern Sichuan and Chuxi, Zhang Xianzhong knows Zuo Dudu's every move, and Zuo Dudu is as blind as a blind man, how can he defeat the enemy? ”

Hearing Yang Sichang's words, Li Zhi took a breath.

Yang Sichang said this tactfully, talking about intelligence matters. In fact, he was hinting at Li Zhi. As Zhang Yingyuan said, if Li Zhi insisted on going his own way at this time and wanted to go to the battlefield immediately to make meritorious contributions, none of the other Ming armies would cooperate with him.

The generals of the Ming army fought hard for a year without results, and if they helped Li Zhi, who was hand-picked by the Son of Heaven, all the credit would go to Li Zhi. Li Zhi's reputation as a strong army in the world is too loud, and even if other Ming troops contribute at this time, they will still be regarded as the generals of the defeated army, and they will be considered to rely on Li Zhi to make contributions.

If Yang Sichang called on the generals to unite sincerely, under the pressure of the superintendent, I am afraid that there will still be some Ming generals who are willing to fight with Li Zhi. But Yang Sichang was determined to drag Li Zhi's hind legs at this time, and the generals heard Yang Sichang's words of persuading Li Zhi with their own ears, so naturally no one would stand up to help Li Zhi make meritorious contributions.

If Li Zhi must defeat Zhang Xianzhong in a quick battle, he will face the situation of facing Zhang Xianzhong alone.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong, who has been in Chongzhen for thirteen years, is no longer Zhang Xianzhong who has been in Chongzhen for ten years. Now Luo Rucai and other thieves are attached to Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong's army is tens of thousands of people at every turn. Although Li Zhi has 16,000 people, he will still have a lot of pressure to face Zhang Xianzhong alone.

And in terms of intelligence, there are indeed problems. Zhang Xianzhong has many eyes and ears, while Li Zhi's scout cavalry is limited. If Li Zhi used a single army against Zhang Xianzhong, he would suffer a great loss in terms of intelligence.

Hearing the hint of something in Yang Sichang's words, the faces of the generals under Li Zhi's command changed color and they became a little worried.

But Li Zhi was unwilling to back down.

Putting the wine glass on the table, Li Zhi said lightly: "Although there are tens of millions of people, I am alone!" ”
