Shi Wei tossed back and forth, more than a month has passed, Zhang Xianzhong during this period of time, is crazy to expand the army, and is to attack the city and plunder the land, the entire Bazhong has become his world, Chengdu Mansion, Jiading Mansion, Shunqing Mansion, Tongchuan Prefecture and other state capitals Most of the cities have been occupied by him, and his men and horses have expanded to more than 200,000!

He was also ruthless, in order to resist the officers and soldiers outside Bashu, he almost mobilized all his troops to Baoning Mansion, at this time, the defenders of Bazhou had reached a terrifying 100,000, and the city defense materials such as rolling stones, sasswood, iron pots, oil and water on the city wall had long been piled up, and the trenches dug by them under the city wall were like spider webs!

At this point, he still felt unsafe, and he also hoarded 100,000 new soldiers in the city of Boryeong, not far away, ready to support Bazhou at any time.

Shi Wei nested in Nanjiang City for a day thinking about the millions of taels of silver, where did he know the situation in Bashu, when he led the army to Bazhou City again, he was dumbfounded again, the city wall was covered with moats that were Xu Xu wide, how could this city be attacked!

Fortunately, he won't, there are still people who will, He Renlong is a veteran of a hundred battles, and he is also a rare fierce general, he simply handed over the task of attacking the city to He Renlong, and he himself led the remaining more than 20,000 Guan Ning Tie to ride in the back, called the pressure array, which is actually to supervise the battle.

He Renlong is indeed a fierce general, but that is all in the past, as he grows older, his sharpness is slowly worn out, and now he has long lived up to the courage of the year, and some are just the perception of life.

What did he think?

His perception is to support the army and respect himself, these days, if there are no soldiers under his command, you are a fart, as long as you have tens of thousands of horses under your command, you can live a very nourishing life!

He and Zheng Chongjian both understood this truth, so they valued the tens of thousands of horses under them more than anything else, and it was a dream for him to command his subordinates to attack the city desperately.

If he is as desperate as before, and goes crazy to storm Bazhou City, even if there are 100,000 anti-thieves in the city, it will not be able to bear him as a madman, but now, he cherishes his feathers and does not want to fight with the anti-thieves, so every day he just takes his 30,000 Shaanxi soldiers to shout trumpets and make siege equipment in the back, and the siege is always only the 20,000 Henan soldiers, the scene is very lively, but the effect is minimal.

He grinded like this for more than ten days, and the Henan soldiers suffered heavy losses and lost all morale by him, but the anti-thieves in the city became more and more courageous and their morale was high, because they found that the officers and soldiers were just like this, they were just called fierce, and when the real battle started, not many people would rush forward!

Of course, the officers and soldiers are not like this, but they are lucky, when they meet Shi Fei, a commander who only wants to get rich, and He Renlong, a general who only wants to preserve their strength, if they meet King Lu Yan or Sun Chuanting, they will already be beaten up.

This Bazhou City has not been taken for a long time, Chongzhen is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Shi Fei, Shi Wei is also becoming more and more anxious, he even forced He Renlong to personally lead the army to attack the city several times, but He Renlong just didn't make any efforts, and he didn't even go up the city wall at all, he just took people to shout under the city wall for a while and retreated, which was worse than the moraleless Henan soldiers attacking the city!

He Renlong is doing this, in fact, he is playing with fire, Chongzhen's stinky temper, once he initiates a storm, someone will definitely want his head to fall to the ground, and Shi Fei is an old fox, when the time comes, this pot will not be buckled on his head!

Historically, he played with fire like this, played with fire in Chongzhen, and directly ordered Sun Chuanting to cut him down, but at this time, he was surprisingly lucky, because Chongzhen's attention was quickly attracted to other places.

They and Zhang Xianzhong were in full swing here, and Li Zicheng, who was nested in the Qinling Mountains, naturally knew it for a long time, at the beginning, Li Zicheng also wanted to learn from Zhang Xianzhong, sneak attack and take Xi'an City, take the Qin Palace, and borrow the silver and grain of the Qin Palace.

However, he soon found that the sneak attack on Xi'an City didn't seem to work, because it was the Qin army stationed inside, these guys were not new soldiers, they were professional soldiers who were soldiers as their main business, and if they wanted to make a ghost under their noses, there was simply no door.

Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Shaanxi, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this guy actually ordered the state capitals and counties to train their own townships to defend the city, and made it clear that if it was attacked by anti-thieves, he would not lead the army to support at all!

This guy is poisonous, Li Zicheng felt that he couldn't get anything good in the hands of this guy, so he simply led the army to sneak across the river and enter the Zhongtiao Mountains, preparing to resurrect in Henan.

After more than a month of tossing and turning, he finally found a target, and this target was the Zheng Wang family of Huaiqing Mansion.

Because King Zheng's line is really not a thing, he doesn't care about the life or death of the common people under his rule, he knows that he is tyrannical and extorted to maintain his luxurious life, and the entire Huaiqing Mansion is full of complaints, if it weren't for the fierce guards of King Zheng's Mansion, I am afraid that he would have rebelled long ago.

When Li Zicheng heard the news, he immediately led the army from Zhongtiao Mountain to Wangwu Mountain without hesitation, and secretly sneaked towards Huaiqing Mansion.

This time, he didn't occupy all the other cities like Wang Ziyong did, and let Huaiqingfu City go, he chose to lead all the horses to sneak near Huaiqingfu City, and then sent Liu Zongmin to sneak into the city with his elite and wait for the opportunity to launch.

Where did Zhu Yiduo, the king of Zheng, think that the thieves would suddenly come to him, he didn't take any precautions at all, and there was no one stationed on the city wall, and there was only a small team of guards at each city gate at night.

The result can be imagined, Liu Zongmin effortlessly took the north gate of Huaiqing Mansion City, and Li Zicheng also captured Huaiqing Mansion City overnight, took Zheng Wang's Mansion, and also arrested Zheng Wang Zhu Yiduo's family!

Early the next morning, according to Li Yan's suggestion, he held a public trial of King Zheng, repeated the charges against this guy, and put him to death.

Soon, Li Zicheng's men and horses expanded to more than 100,000, and other cities in Huaiqing Mansion were also taken in less than a few days with the help of the people.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng sent men and horses to Luoyang and Kaifeng Mansion to fight local tyrants everywhere, distribute grain, and engage in vigorous activities, and for a while, the whole Henan was full of hungry people and homeless people who responded to King Chuang's call to rebel, and Li Zicheng's strength developed even more rapidly than Zhang Xianzhong.

This Henan is next to Beizhili, Chongzhen naturally received the news quickly, but he still insisted on refusing to use Zhang Bin, but instead followed Xue Guoguan's suggestion and ordered Zuo Liangyu to lead 50,000 Shanxi troops to encircle and suppress!

This Zuo Liangyu is even more treacherous than He Renlong, let him lead the army to fight the thief, it is simply a brain in water!

He dragged his feet for nearly half a month before he "rushed" from Taiyuan Mansion to Huaiqing Mansion, and at this time, Li Zicheng had already occupied the entire territory of Huaiqing Mansion and Rongyang, Yanshi and other places, and his men and horses had reached nearly 200,000, 50,000 officers and soldiers, and they were also a ragtag army that did not contribute to the work, and he was not afraid at all.

Zuo Liangyu walked for half a month, and bluffed with Li Zicheng for half a month, not a single city was taken down, Chongzhen didn't have time to go crazy, Nanzhili had an accident again, the fifth battalion of the left heard that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng had risen one after another, and all the attention of the imperial court was attracted, and they immediately seized the opportunity to come out of the Dabie Mountain and took the Luzhou Mansion in one fell swoop!

Smoke is everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, anti-thieves are everywhere in the five northwestern provinces, Shi Wei and Zuo Liangyu both have heavy troops but there is no way to take the anti-thieves, will Chongzhen use Zhang Bin again?
