Li Yan's disappearance did not attract anyone's attention, because Li Nian had already confessed when he left, Li Yan was drunk and asleep, and no one was allowed to disturb him, and Li Yan rushed back to Chenliu that night, and returned to his handsome tent under the cover of Li Nian.

As if he had never been to Zhongmu, the next morning, he just pretended to be drunk and rested, and in the afternoon he urged his men to practice as usual.

Li Yan's military camp doesn't seem to have changed much, but in the past few days, there are always some strong young people who have emerged from the outer refugee camps to join Li Yan's men, and I am afraid that there will be thousands of people, but this is not surprising, the peasant army has been constantly recruiting young and strong, and it is nothing to recruit thousands of people in a few days, and it is not strange to recruit thousands or even thousands of people a day.

Li Yan's changes here seem to be limited to this, he didn't even go to Li Zicheng again, asking him to give out food to help the victims, and he spent a day in the big camp to train his soldiers, and he didn't go anywhere.

The main force of the Ming army in Zhongmu City seems to be like Zuo Liangyu, who just came to grind foreign workers, and there was no movement, they didn't even divide their troops to Kaifeng to assist in defending the city, and they nested in Zhongmu City for a day, doing nothing.

Everything seemed to be calm, the land of the Central Plains had returned to a rare tranquility, and the officers and soldiers were in harmony with the anti-thieves, and there was no intention of fighting at all.

Is this the case?

Of course not!

At this time, Zuo Liangyu had already handed over his military power and quietly rushed to Fujian, Zhang Bin had already ordered Cao Wenzhao to take over more than 100,000 Shanxi miscellaneous troops, and sent He Kegang and Cao Bianjiao to assist him in reorganizing his men and horses, and reorganized into 60,000 elites, that is, the left, middle and right three armies, led by Cao Wenzhao, He Kegang and Cao Bianjiao, respectively, quietly sneaked between Chenliu and Xinzheng, Fugou and Taikang, choked the passage for the thieves to flee to the southwest, south and southeast, and put the thieves in Chenliu and annihilated them in one fell swoop!

It is said that the main force of officers and soldiers has rushed to Zhongmou, which is more than 100 miles away, what is Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, doing, why didn't he run away?

He is hesitating, not hesitating to run away, but hesitating to claim the throne!

At this time in history, he had already established the Dashun regime, and he was also thinking about this issue at this time.

Of course, in history, he was much stronger than he is now, and he occupies a larger territory than now, and the establishment of political power is a matter of course, why did he only occupy half of Henan Province at this time and think about establishing political power?

In fact, his establishment of power was not affected by the size of his territory, nor by the size of his power, but by time or experience.

He is already in his forties, and it has been more than ten years since the uprising, and he can't wait to establish a regime, because the average life expectancy of the people at this time is more than forty years old, and he is equivalent to entering old age, and even the coffin board is beckoning to him, and he may die at some point, but he has no son yet, that is, he has no one in his class!

What is the purpose of all this hard work, for the sake of giving it to others after one's death?

So, why does he have no sons?

He took three wives successively:

The first, Han Jin'er, was killed by him for adultery with Gai Hu;

The second, Xing, had an affair with his subordinate Gao Jie, and privately swallowed hundreds of thousands of taels of military salaries, and his whereabouts were unknown.

The third, that is, his current wife Gao Guiying, was originally pregnant, but she had a miscarriage because of the battles everywhere!

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, not to mention that he is such a troubled man with an army of hundreds of thousands, he doesn't even have a son, what else is there to break into, and if he breaks again, he will be the last!

He really didn't want to be left behind, so establishing a regime, creating a stable environment, and giving birth to a few sons became his main consideration during this time, and the reason why he led the army to open the Fengfu was to take Kaifeng Mansion as the capital of his regime.

The reason why he refused Li Yanyun to give food to help the hungry people is also because of this reason, after the establishment of this regime, he will have to nest here for a long time, after all, his son is not made in a day or two, and there is no grain for a year, how can he live in the nest, there will be no food on the land of the Central Plains at this time.

As for the hungry people, he still cares about the hungry people, he is going to be dead, what else does he care about the life and death of the hungry people!

He was full of eagerness and eagerness to run to open the closed city, Zuo Liangyu didn't seem to have the intention of stopping him, he had just assembled the army and was about to run to attack the city, but the main army of the imperial court came, and now, he really hurt a little.

He didn't know that it was Zhang Bin who came, because Zhang Bin didn't go around preaching that he was going to personally lead the army to exterminate the anti-thieves, except for Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and Huang Degong and other generals who were encircling and suppressing the anti-thieves, he didn't notify the others at all, and it was naturally impossible for these people to run to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and other anti-thief leaders to say, hey, our cabinet chief assistant Zhang Bin and Master Zhang are here, you run quickly!

Therefore, Li Zicheng did not know that the commander of the officers and soldiers was Zhang Bin, he only knew that the Ming army had more than 100,000.

Originally, he was also a little scared, ready to run away, when the officers and soldiers occupied Zhongmu, he was ready to smear the soles of his feet, but at this time, Zhang Bin didn't move, and he didn't do anything in Zhongmu all day long, it seemed that he wanted to learn from Zuo Liangyu to raise his own respect.

Li Zicheng was really a little hesitant at this time, to escape or not to escape?

It is not easy for him to gather these more than 400,000 horses, if he escapes, he will show that he is afraid, he knows the virtue of the officers and soldiers very clearly, if you are hard, he will be soft, if you are soft, he will be hard, if you dare to escape, they will definitely chase, if they are chased by officers and soldiers and beaten violently, these more than 400,000 horses may be finished, when and when will he be able to establish power!

He is not a timid person, if he is cowardly, he cannot rebel, on the contrary, he is very bold, at this moment, he is even thinking, should he go to Zhongmu City to drive the officers and soldiers away, and then besiege Kaifeng City!

This is not his whims, this is mainly paralyzed by Zuo Liangyu, because Zuo Liangyu will have more than 100,000 troops if he gathers all the horses at this time, but as long as he leads the main force to force over, Zuo Liangyu will definitely not fight with him, but will choose to retreat.

It is precisely because of Zuo Liangyu's self-respect for the army and self-respect for raising the army that Li Zicheng mistakenly thinks that the current officers and soldiers are so virtuous, and the generals who lead the troops will not work hard for the court at all, and they are all thinking about how to preserve their strength and support the troops for self-respect!

Perhaps it is also due to the influence of this no queen, the more Li Zicheng goes to the back to do things, the more ridiculous he becomes, like he is doing a ridiculous thing at this moment.

At this time, the main force of the official army had rushed more than 100 miles away, not only did he not lead the army to escape, but instead took a few concubines and nested in Chen Liucheng and worked hard to create people!

His idea is that he has decided to establish a regime anyway, this harem will have to be there sooner or later, and this offspring will have to be built sooner or later.

And the concubines he accepted were all beauties snatched from the royal family, all of them were as beautiful as flowers, in order to survive, in order to live a good life, they were also bent to welcome him, slowly, he was deeply trapped in the gentle township and couldn't extricate himself!
