After Mao Wenlong saw the messenger leave, he explained to Chen Jisheng: "We must make a detour to Sichuan, pretend to feint to attack Li Zicheng, and see how he reacts." ”

A hint of hesitation flashed in Chen Jisheng's eyes, but he quickly became firm, and he nodded and said, "Obey." ”

Chen Jisheng immediately rode his horse to the front army to join Xu Fuzuo, and then informed Mao Wenlong's order, after which, the two began to work separately. Chen Jisheng went to pick a few hundred Dongjiang troops to be responsible for escorting the Mao clan back, while Xu Fuzuo began to arrange for the army to turn around.

Mao Wenlong got out of the carriage and came to the carriage where Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were riding, and said lightly: "Xiaolan, the children will be handed over to you, don't delay on the road, and rush back to Xi'an City as soon as possible." ”

"Xianggong, what happened?" Hong Ziyan asked in surprise.

Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly and said: "It's not been peaceful outside recently, and there may be war at any time, so don't stay outside for too long." We'll separate here, and you'll leave the children to your care. ”

Chen Lan nodded: "Don't worry, Xianggong, we will rush back to Xi'an City as soon as possible and will not stay outside." ”

With Chen Lan's assurance, Mao Wenlong was also relieved, he smiled and said goodbye to the two. At this time, the hundreds of secret guards that Chen Jisheng found by name were also ready, and as soon as Mao Wenlong gave an order, they continued to set off towards Xuzhou.

Mao Wenlong watched Chen Lan and the others leave, and then asked for a war horse, changed into a war armor and rode on a war horse with the help of the guards, holding a saber high and shouting: "Let's go!" ”

The war horse kicked up the dust in the sky, rolled away, turned around and ran wildly towards the boundary of Sichuan.

Shunqing Mansion, Sichuan.

Since the last defeat in Shanxi, Li Zicheng fled back to Sichuan, and after more than four months of lurking, his wounds have healed.

In the government office of Shunqing Fucheng, Li Zicheng and several generals were talking and laughing, and the recent sneak attack on Shaanxi was very smooth, which made everyone present very happy.

Li Zicheng looked at Yingshanjian with a smile and said: "This time your credit is not small, and when the dust settles down, you will definitely be rewarded." ”

Yingshanjian didn't dare to hold it up, he quickly got up and said to Li Zicheng: "King Chuang is polite, these are what his subordinates should do, today we have such a result and King Chuang has a good way to lead the troops, so we can achieve such results." ”

Li Zicheng threw a look at your kid with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "This time it was also our luck, that Mao Wenlong is said to be not in Xi'an, so we have the opportunity to sneak attack the villages in those remote areas like this and collect a lot of food and money." But this is only a temporary solution, and it will certainly not last long. ”

Yingshanjian even echoed: "What King Chuang said is extremely true, now we have eyeliner in Xi'an City, as long as Mao Wenlong comes back, we will definitely be able to find out." So we still have some time, I wonder if King Chuang has a bigger plan? ”

These two sang and joined together, obviously they had already spoken first, and even if the other generals had different opinions at this time, they naturally would not save Li Zicheng's face at this time, so they all chose to keep silent and wait for Li Zicheng's performance.

Sure enough, after Li Zicheng heard this, he showed a smug face: "Mao Wenlong made me suffer great losses in Shanxi twice, if I don't ask him for some compensation, this king can't swallow this breath." Mao Wenlong has not returned to Xi'an yet, so we must take this opportunity to rob him of a big one to show revenge. ”

It was still Yingshanjian who answered, and he clenched his fists and said, "King Chuang, where are we going to rob this time?" ”

Li Zicheng's face was gloomy, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Xi'an." ”

Including Yingshanjian, everyone present was immediately shocked, obviously, this time even Yingshanjian did not know that Li Zicheng had such a goal in advance.

Xi'an City can currently be regarded as the capital of Mao Wenlong's territory, and it is needless to say that it has strict defenses and strong defenders. Although they have already mixed in a lot of secret posts in Xi'an City, if these people want to make trouble in Xi'an City, it will be a bit child's play.

Ying Shanjian had to remind Li Zicheng: "King Chuang, this is inevitably a little inappropriate." ”

Li Zicheng snorted coldly: "You don't need to worry too much, this king is not so confused that the egg touches the stone." Raiding Xi'an City is naturally not the foundation of the Dongjiang Army, we only need to target those merchants and wealthy households in the city. As long as the speed can be fast, we have every chance of success. ”

Yingshanjian suddenly came over, as long as he didn't deal with the Dongjiang army, but just stretched out his hand to the people, there would be no problem at all.

After understanding Li Zicheng's plan clearly, Yingshanjian immediately felt relieved, and even had some expectations for this plan.

In the evening of the same day, more than a dozen fast horses from Shunqing Mansion City left the city, and Li Zicheng and his subordinates also began to get busy. Since you want to grab something, you naturally have to be taken by surprise.

To this end, Li Zicheng consulted with a group of subordinates and determined the best plan. In order to attract the attention of the Dongjiang army, he let the fake bandits hiding on the border between Sichuan and Shaanxi start to attack their nearby villages at the same time.

At the same time, the catastrophe in Xi'an will begin, which is a perfect plan, if nothing else, it will indeed cause a lot of damage to the city of Xi'an. However, the heavens are not beautiful, and it is just before Li Zicheng is going well and is about to start implementing the plan.

Mao Wenlong has been diverted to Xiangyang City to enter the Sichuan border, and during this period, Mao Wenlong has received confidential documents from Hong Chengchou twice in a row. It mentions that in recent times, the situation of bandits has become more and more serious.

Mao Wenlong did not have any delay, when he entered the border of Sichuan, even if he ordered a half-day rest, at noon that day, launched a rapid sneak attack on the Shuangzhou Mansion in Sichuan.

……

"What? The Dongjiang army attacked the city of Shuangzhou......" Li Zicheng Huo Ran got up and exclaimed in surprise.

Yingshanjian's face twitched slightly, and he said: "It's true, King Chuang, and Mao Wenlong personally led the troops to carry out a sneak attack on Shuangzhou Mansion, and the Shuangzhou Mansion was captured in less than an hour, and it was completely occupied by the Dongjiang Army. ”

"Damn, why did Mao Wenlong suddenly appear in the capital city of Shuangzhou, and also launched a sneak attack. Did he know something? Li Zicheng began to calm down after being furious.

Ying Shanjian hesitated for a moment, and said: "King Chuang, it is estimated that our plan has been seen through by Mao Wenlong, is it better to stop Xi'an's plan?" ”

Li Zicheng's face changed, and after a period of silence, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Xi'an's plan must continue, and Mao Wenlong's arrival does not necessarily prove that he knows our plan." ”
