Attacking Shang Luo Li Zicheng, Lu Shi has a complex mind.

As a fellow Daoist who was supposed to be a fellow of the same spirit, he and Li Zicheng, who started from the hungry people, should have joined forces to deal with the court that was still in a strong position in this great history, instead of tearing each other down like now, and finally becoming enemies and meeting each other.

But who will complain about this?

Of course, in history, none of the real peasant uprisings were successful, even if they were peasants, they all succeeded with the help of scholars or wealthy families. Therefore, Li Zicheng cannot be blamed for his short-sightedness.

Now, Li Zicheng has not yet become an emperor and overthrew the meaning of the Ming Dynasty, all he did was to take a group of rogues and struggle to survive, but that's it, that's all, otherwise, it would not appear in the original history, Li Zicheng occupied almost the entire north of the Ming Dynasty, and the peasant army had already been devastating to the Gyeonggi region, but Li Zicheng still wrote to Emperor Chongzhen, but he just wanted to ask for a king of Shaanxi, in order to get the position of this prince, he also took the initiative to ask for the customs to suppress the Manchu Tartars for the imperial court, But this request was rejected by Chongzhen, because those Qingliu people simply looked down on Li Zicheng, a mud leg, and couldn't bear to be a rogue who became a prince with a different surname and stood on top of the court with those of them who read poetry and books. Because of this, Chongzhen lost an opportunity to change himself and change the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

And even if Li Zicheng has already conquered Beijing, when he enters the Forbidden City, he will shoot an arrow at the plaque of Chaotianmen, this arrow is not a proud show-off, but a bet with his subordinates, "If I shoot an arrow on the word Chao, I will be called the emperor, if I shoot under it, then we will turn back to Xi'an and return this Ming to the Zhu family." It can be seen that Li Zicheng's inner entanglement. As a result, I don't know whether Li Zicheng's archery was too bad, or it was deliberate, this arrow was shot under the word Tianzi, so Li Zicheng was not forced to withdraw from Beijing until he hurriedly ascended the emperor's throne at the instigation of a group of subordinates, and then retreated to Shaanxi.

In order to survive and live well, now, Li Zicheng is such a mentality, so for him, as long as there is food to survive this difficult spring, no matter whose food it is, he will rob it.

For the sake of the base area and the peace of the people under the leadership of the word, he can only go into battle on horseback and fight with his colleagues. This is Li Zicheng's sorrow, and this is Lu Shi's helplessness.

"The safety of the base area will be handed over to the commander, don't look at the north, it's spring, it's also the place where the Mongol Tartars plundered, there was originally a trilateral army of the Ming Dynasty, but now it's only us." Lu Shi took Guo Tianxing's hand and told him again and again.

Since Lu Shi occupied Shaanxi, Yang He was removed from the post of trilateral governor because of the unfavorable war, and was locked in Beijing to be imprisoned, at this time Hong Chengchou was promoted to the post, but also gave up the border defense in northern Shaanxi, which is also a kind of helplessness of Hong Chengchou, but also has the idea of borrowing a knife to kill, after all, the strength of the Mongolian Tartars is still there, although it cannot defeat Lu Shi, but let Lu Shi chicken and dog restless, but also he, the unworthy governor of the name, is happy to see.

At this time, Lu Shi's invading army had to shoulder this northern defense. In fact, the best way to deal with the Mongol Tatars is cavalry against cavalry, but in order to solve Li Zicheng's rogue as soon as possible, Lu Shi can only use all the cavalry, so that the entire defense of northern Shaanxi can only rely on the border fortress abandoned by the Ming army and use spearmen to passively defend.

"You can rest assured that there is not only the Zhiluogou base of the Black Bull in the north as the backing, but also the Zhenbei Army of Tiezi, and the Tartars are coming, and they will definitely not be able to eat the benefits." Guo Tianxing said to Lu Shidao with a big grin.

"Remember, the Tartars are coming, and we must rely on the fortress to defend it, and we must not attack." Lu Shi was most worried that Guo Tianxing would attack rashly when the Tartars attacked, and the infantry against the cavalry, the invading army would suffer a big loss, especially if the innovating army had not yet encountered a confrontation with the cavalry, and there was no experience, the infantry against the cavalry, that could only be defeated, even for the Mongol cavalry that had no Genghis Khan.

"Alright, alright, it's you, not me, to worry about." Guo Tianxing was already a little impatient with Lu Shi's mother-in-law, "You use 10,000 cavalry to deal with 100,000 Li Zicheng Liukou, or the mountainous area that is the most unfavorable for cavalry, this is what I am most worried about." ”

Lu Shi smiled slightly: "The reason why I adopted cavalry to deal with Li Zicheng is that it was formulated for Li Zicheng's mobile operations, and I want to use the rapid mobility characteristics of cavalry to deal with his movement in all directions, and use the power of a battle to completely solve the last force entrenched on the border of Shaanxi that threatens us." Lu Shi once again reiterated his assumption. Guerrilla warfare is Li Zicheng's ability, but in dealing with Li Zicheng, the current Lu Shi has the influence of the guerrilla warfare genius in his previous life, especially the battle example of suppressing bandits in the northeast, which makes Lu Shi himself absolutely sure about exterminating Li Zicheng.

"Actually, it's more appropriate for me to deal with Li Zicheng, you are in Xi'an to command and dispatch, then-"

Lu Shi interrupted Guo Tianxing's words with a smile, if he continued to talk about it, the result would be to go back to the original topic, at this time, the troops had already set off, and there was no point in arguing any longer.

"You should still sit in Xi'an, stabilize the place, and guard against the Mongolian Tatars." Lu Shi said again.

At this time, Chen Ce stepped forward and quipped with a smile: "You two are still finished?" Coming out of the palace, it's been ten miles out of the city, and it's still so endless, and this battle can't be fought. ”

When Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, Guo Tianxing took Lu Shi's hand again and said, "Since it has been decided, there is nothing to say, just brother, you have to take care of yourself." Guo Tianxing whispered to his brother who had not been called for a long time, and tears had flashed in the corners of his eyes.

Lu Shi felt the warmth and strength from Guo Tianxing's hands, and also heard this long-lost title, his voice trembled for a while, and he only held Guo Tianxing's hand fiercely, shaking twice, "Let's all take care." ”

Then, he turned his head and said to Chen Ce and Zhao Zi: "Shaanxi is in ruins, and it is precisely the spring ploughing that is imminent, and there are two laborers in this government affairs." ”

The two glanced at each other, and then bowed their hands to Lu Shi together: "For the sake of millions of people in Shaanxi, for the great cause of the king, dare not do your best?" ”

Wu Tao stepped forward and arched his hand: "King Chuang, there are two Chen Zhao in government affairs, and I am the commander in the military, you can rest assured that King Chuang, I have also informed Chen Che, and he will fully cooperate with this battle." ”

Lu Shi nodded, "With the army behind and the stable Shaanxi behind, we will definitely win." ”

So, everyone sang together loudly: "I wish the king a victory." ”

In a rattan shoulder bowl carried by two mules, Lu Shizheng sat behind a delicate table, leaning over to look at the location of Li Zicheng, which had been detected by the sergeant of the prison, and the surrounding power environment.

A shoulder carried by a mule is Lu Shi's mobile office, this is not Lu Shi's greed for pleasure, but the need for work, it is unrealistic to review documents right away, but it is even more inconvenient to make a car, the mountain road is difficult, the car and horse are not passable, this mule shoulder is the most suitable.

Lu Shi's expedition did not make a big move, 10,000 cavalry led by Da Lang, and 20,000 donkeys and mules were collected, carrying the necessary swords, guns, arrows and other weapons to set off.

As for food, they don't have to bring too much, because if they are fighting on the edge of the base area, there is not much problem in receiving and supplying food, and more importantly, bringing more food will greatly slow down the march of the cavalry, and it will not be conducive to chasing the dead and chasing the north.

At the same time, Lu Shi also has an innate advantage, that is, his opponent Li Zicheng has no place to stand at all, let alone an ally, and he is surrounded by enemies, so it greatly restricts Li Zicheng's flow space, so that he can win better.

Speaking of which, he is now also solving problems for Chongzhen, in history, Li Zicheng is the first person to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the uprisings in the north continued, but those rebels were wavering, soothing and eating, only this Li Zicheng Xiaoqiang, several times exterminated, several times stood up, and finally became a fire of the plain, completely buried the Ming Dynasty, but also buried the Han family in disguise.

However, it's a pity that this time Li Zicheng was unlucky, he fell in love with himself, a cross-cutting alien, and exterminated him, Lu Shi was absolutely sure, so as long as Li Zicheng was exterminated, would Daming live?

The answer is, the same can't, because, himself, is stronger than Li Zicheng in history, and has more direction and goal than Li Zicheng, for Chongzhen, Lu Shi's extermination of Li Zicheng is not lucky at all, but it accelerated the demise of the dynasty, but it was Li Zicheng in history who pushed him down and changed it to Lu Shi.

The difference is that if Lu Shi overthrew the Ming Dynasty with a quick knife to cut through the chaos, then it would be a disaster for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had not yet become stronger in the battle with the Ming Dynasty, and history actually changed its direction at this time.

"Report to the king, a new battle report from the prison sergeant is coming." Wang Jian whispered outside his shoulder.

Chunlan, who was sitting next to Lu Shi, opened the curtain and said with a smile: "Take it." ”

Wang Jian handed over a brand-new battle report, and Chunlan didn't read it, so she put it on Lu Shi's desk.

Lu Shi raised his head and smiled at Chunlan, then picked up this battle report and glanced at it hastily, then was stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

"What? Has anything changed? Chunlan asked in a low voice.

Lu Shi shook the war report in his hand: "Hehe, I really didn't expect that when Hong Chengchou and He Renlong arrived in Henan, they also began to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, and now, our officials and thieves are going to cooperate." ”

Chunlan smiled and said disdainfully: "Hong Chengchou, although He Renlong is a defeated general under us, he is still a bit of a threat to Li Zicheng, and in this way, it will also speed up the speed at which we can eliminate Li Zicheng, which is a good thing." ”

Lu Shi smiled bitterly and said: "The officials and thieves merge, and the ones who are exterminated are still thieves, what kind of world is this?" ”
