Xingyang is located in the north of Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, the northwest corner of Kaifeng Mansion, there is an official road in the east to connect Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, to the west over the Tiger Prison Pass is Luoyang, Chang'an, the north is adjacent to the Yellow River, the south is adjacent to the Suohe River and Song Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, the transportation is convenient, it has always been a place where the soldiers must fight, the peasant army occupies here, the Fu King of Luoyang, the King of Zhou in Kaifeng are frightened and panicked, and they send people to the capital for help, hoping that Chongzhen can send troops to save their great-grandfathers and uncles and brothers as soon as possible.

Chongzhen is also in a hurry, but it takes time for Chen Qiyu to assemble a large army, and it is impossible for him to take 10,000 Tianxiong troops to regret more than 500,000 anti-thieves, even if Lu Xiangsheng, the king of Hades, comes, I am afraid that he will not dare to be so arrogant.

It is estimated that it will take some time for the imperial army to come, will the peasant army really run to attack Luoyang or Kaifeng, and make a fortune first?

This is not known for the time being, because at this time the peasant rebel armies of all stripes are gathering together for a meeting.

The venue of this meeting was still the Xingyang County Ya, but they did not hold the meeting in the lobby, but chose the canteen, because there were too many leaders of the peasant army gathered in Xingyang this time, there were as many as seventy-two people, and the county government hall would definitely not be able to squeeze so many people, and only the canteen had such a large place.

In other words, why is the number of leaders of the peasant army so coincidental, either 36 battalions or 72 battalions, is this a coincidence?

Of course not, this number is only an approximate number, the reason why it used to be 36 battalions, and now it is 72 roads, should be influenced by "Water Margin", there is such a chapter in "Water Margin": "Thirty-six days of Gang, seventy-two places to trouble the Central Plains." ”

At that time, the heroes of Liangshan were the idols of the rebels, but all the rebels would try their best to rely on this number, perhaps they were just to explain to the world that they were good men who "walked for the heavens", and at that time it was popular among the court officials to use this black, for example, Wei Zhongxian's henchman Wang Shaohui, the left deputy capital of the imperial history, once compiled the "Donglin Point Generals" to implicate the Donglin Party and the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, and insinuated that they were anti-thieves!

Of course, whether it is the 36th Battalion or the 72nd Road, it is not someone else's intention to hack the peasant army, but the peasant army itself called out, because they were originally rebels, and they are involved with the heroes of Liangshan, which is conducive to increasing their popularity among the people.

In short, no matter how many peasant rebel army leaders there were, they had gathered in the dining hall of the Xingyang County Ya at this time, and the discussion was eagerly discussed.

First of all, it is natural to elect the leader of the alliance, in fact, there are not many people who are qualified to "run" for the leader of the alliance at this time, and there are also several well-known leaders of the peasant army, such as Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, and Luo Rucai, who are famous in the peasant army.

It didn't take long for Gao Yingxiang to be elected as the leader of the peasant rebel army from all walks of life, because he was relatively old and had nearly 200,000 horses under his command, both in prestige and strength, he was one of the best in the peasant rebel army, and his election as the leader of the alliance was well deserved.

As soon as Gao Yingxiang was elected, the status of Li Zicheng, the general of Chuang, suddenly rose, he was only Gao Yingxiang's deputy, the second of the righteous army all the way, and he was not even qualified to speak at the party, and now he became the number one general under the leader of the peasant rebel army from all walks of life, and his status even exceeded that of the ordinary leader of the peasant army.

The next battle meeting became a stage for him alone, and at Gao Yingxiang's signal, he stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, according to the latest information, the little emperor has ordered Governor Chen Qiyu to prepare to encircle and suppress us. ”

"Hiss", the leaders of the peasant army couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, and the whole venue suddenly resounded with a convulsive sound.

In the past, they were scurrying around with just one province of soldiers and horses, but now the little emperor wants to gather soldiers and horses from five provinces to clean them up, how can everyone not be afraid.

Li Zicheng then smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will take at least more than a month for Chen Qiyu to gather the soldiers and horses of the five provinces, and we can take advantage of this time to do something earth-shattering." The officers and soldiers are always chasing us, and we should give them some color. ”

Li Wanqing couldn't help but be curious: "What kind of earth-shattering event, you won't run to attack the capital again, right?" ”

Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "Of course not, the capital city is high and deep, and we can't capture it for the time being, but there is a place that is more important than the capital, as long as it can be defeated, the little emperor will definitely be so frightened that he will cry his father and mother." ”

Liu Guoneng couldn't help but urge: "What the hell is the place, say it quickly, don't keep selling Guanzi!" ”

Li Zicheng explained with a smile: "There is more than one capital in Daming, the northern capital and the southern capital are the most powerful cities in the world, and we can't do anything for the time being, but Fengyang, the central capital, is only a small county town, and there are less than 10,000 garrisons there, so it is very easy for us to fight down." ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed a sudden look, but what is the point of Fengyang in the middle capital, why did the little emperor cry and cry for his mother?

Even Sai Cao Cao Luo Rucai, who has always been known for his wisdom, couldn't help but ask: "What's the use of conquering Fengyang, the central capital, it's not very rich there, and our more than 500,000 horses and that poor place will definitely not be able to support it." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes, Xingshi mobilized the people to take down a place where the poor couldn't even support the big guys, and they really didn't know what the meaning was.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "We didn't go to raise grain and grass to raise Fengyang, but to dig the ancestral grave of his old Zhu family and cut off Zhu Ming's dragon vein!" ”

"Hiss", the whole venue sounded a convulsive sound again, digging people's ancestral graves, in ancient times, it was the most immoral thing, this guy, really ruthless!

When Li Zicheng saw everyone's expressions, he couldn't help but say with disdain: "What's the matter, do you still expect the little emperor to use high-ranking officials to appease you?" Their old Zhu family is notoriously unrecognizable, you rebel and still want to get good under their hands, that is a dream! Besides, digging the ancestral grave of his old Zhu family is not to be angry, but to make the little emperor panic and mess up, you think about it, the ancestral grave has been dug up, according to the little emperor's temperament, you must not go crazy, what Chen Qiyu is a piece of shit, we don't have to touch him, the little emperor will clean him up! ”

Indeed, in the eyes of these rebellious peasant rebels, Chongzhen is a complete and unscrupulous monarch, tyrannical, murderous, vicious, ruthless, if he goes to dig his ancestral grave, he will definitely go crazy and kill people, maybe Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, will be dragged out and cut down by him before he has time to show up!

Seeing that everyone finally showed an expression of agreement, Li Zicheng couldn't help but say proudly: "Fengyang in the attack is not only to dig the ancestral grave of his old Zhu family, but more importantly, it can also mobilize officers and soldiers, so that the soldiers and horses in the world are crazy to run in the direction of Fengyang. ”

When everyone heard this, they all gave a thumbs up and praised, high, really high!

Next, Li Zicheng began to introduce his battle plan in detail, which can be summed up as follows: divide troops and orient them, and attack from all directions.

This orientation is that everyone runs in the direction of Nanzhili to avoid the main force of officers and soldiers, and it is better to understand the division of troops, that is, the troops are divided into four roads.

All the way is the main force of the peasant army, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, who directly led an army of 300,000 to attack Fengyang Mansion in the central capital and go to dig the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family!

All the way was the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, and they led more than 100,000 troops all the way to the south, through Runing Mansion, to the Dabie Mountains at the junction of Nanzhili, Huguang, and Henan provinces to distract the attention of the officers and soldiers.

All the way was the Collapse of the Sky Liu Guoneng Department and the Collapse of the Sky Li Wanqing Division, they went to attack the Guide Mansion east of Kaifeng, also to distract the attention of the officers and soldiers.

On the last road, Cao Cao Luo Rucai led the other peasant armies to go around the vicinity of Kaifeng Fucheng, scaring and scaring the little emperor, making him think that the main target of the peasant army was Kaifeng Fucheng!

Will Chongzhen be fooled?

Of course, how did he know that the target of the peasant rebel army was Fengyang Mansion, the capital of the city, and the news he received was that Kaifeng Mansion was in an emergency, Guide Mansion was in an emergency, and Runing Mansion was in an emergency, just these three places had already made him anxious, where could he still think of Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili, he could only urge Chen Qiyu to hurry up and relieve the siege of Kaifeng Mansion, where Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, was one of the most prestigious princes in the royal family, if he was killed by the thief, he could not explain to his great-grandfathers and uncles and brothers.

Chen Qiyu is also unlucky, he himself is also a fierce man, it is precisely because he was more effective in encircling and suppressing the peasant army during his tenure as a criminal envoy and a political envoy in Shaanxi, so he entered Chongzhen's eyes, originally in history, he could still look at the peasant army for a year or two, and beat the peasant army to the head of the rat, but the arrival of Zhang Bin changed the course of history greatly, the Daimyo Mansion and the Huaiqing Mansion won two big victories, and the peasant army that had been beaten was holding its head and running away, if it weren't for Wen Tiren's use of the Jingcha plan to fool around, so that corruption prevailed in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, The peasant rebel army may not have risen so quickly, and he may not even have a chance to show his talents.

At this time, he had the opportunity to show his talents, but as soon as he came up, he was facing more than 500,000 peasant troops, and it was also a peasant army that had begun to transform after Li Zicheng showed his prominence!

After the Xingyang Conference, they attacked from all sides according to the battle plan formulated by Li Zicheng, causing the whole of Henan to be in an emergency, but the gathering of officers and soldiers on Chen Qiyu's side was extremely slow.

The performance of the Sichuan army has always been the most positive, but unfortunately the road is too far, Chen Qiyu set the meeting place is Zhangde Mansion in the middle of Beizhili and Shanxi, from Sichuan to the past, there are more than 2,000 miles, according to the normal marching speed, it is good to be able to rush over in a month.

The distance of the Qin army can be closer, but unfortunately, Wen Tiren came up with a bad idea and disbanded the Qin army, with Wu Zhenying's ability, I don't know if I can gather 50,000 Qin troops for a month.

Henan and Huguang are even more hopeless, because there are no regular armies in these two places, some are only tunwei, and they are tunwei that have not been practiced for decades or even hundreds of years, and it is not known whether they can be assembled or not.

The only people who can quickly rush to Zhangde Mansion to assemble are only the 20,000 border soldiers under Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and the 20,000 elite guards under Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, and the 10,000 Tianxiong army is all counted as 50,000 horses, 50,000 against more than 500,000, the difference in the number is too great, not to mention to encircle and suppress the anti-thieves, it is not bad if you are not surrounded and suppressed by the anti-thieves.

Chen Qiyu is not sure at all, but Chongzhen is urging vigorously, he doesn't care what distance he travels, and no matter how many people you have gathered, Kaifeng Mansion is in an emergency, you have to hurry up to save it, if it is calculated according to the royal family, the current Zhou King Zhu Gongfang is the eleventh grandson of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is the seventeenth grandson of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, this Zhou King Zhu Gongqiao's generation is simply scary, how dare he let King Zhou have an accident!

Chongzhen is a word a day, a word a day, constantly urging, Chen Qiyu has no choice, can only lead 50,000 horses to set off to Kaifeng City, he thinks that if it is really not possible, he will go to Kaifeng City to guard it, and wait for all walks of life to gather and then go to encircle and suppress the thieves.

To say that Chongzhen sent Chen Qiyu to exterminate the anti-thieves really makes a little sense, because after he was a high school jinshi in the forty-fourth year of the Apocalypse, the first position assigned to him by the Ministry of Officials was Luoyang Zhixian, so he was more familiar with Luoyang Mansion and the nearby Huaiqing Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and he could avoid many detours in chasing and suppressing anti-thieves.

However, to his surprise, there were only 100,000 thieves who entered Kaifeng Fucheng, and they didn't seem to have the intention of attacking Kaifeng Fucheng at all, but only transferred to Zhongmu, Chenliu, Lanyang and other places near Kaifeng Fucheng, and did not attack the county seat, but plundered in the countryside, beat local tyrants, fought squires, and robbed grain.

Luo Rucai didn't want to fight hard with the officers and soldiers, and his main task was not to "raise" grain and grass, Li Zicheng just asked him to make it look like he wanted to attack Kaifeng Mansion to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers.

This is his strong point, Kaifeng Mansion he also played a few back and forth, more familiar with the terrain than Chen Qiyu, so he shamelessly caught up with Chen Qiyu, as long as he found that Chen Qiyu led the army to run close to him, once Chen Qiyu did not chase, he went to the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, anyway, it was running back and forth, always keeping a "safe distance" from the officers and soldiers.

Chen Qiyu is not a fool, after chasing him for a few days, he felt that something was wrong, according to the intelligence from the scouts, this group of anti-thieves is simply a group of rabble, the handsome flags are simply as many as a cow's hair, but the equipment is poor to death, all kinds of strange services are available, that is, there is no uniform uniform, it is obvious that this is not the main force of the peasant army, they are purely trying to attract their own attention.

He wrote this situation as a twist, and sent it to the capital in a hurry for 800 miles, which roughly meant to give up this group of thieves and search for the main force of anti-thieves to see what they wanted to do.

Where does Chongzhen care about this, as long as the "old ancestor" of Zhou King Zhu Gongyu doesn't have an accident, other places are at best some county kings, Zhenguo generals or something, and if they die, they can only be regarded as unlucky, and it doesn't have much impact on him.

How did he know that Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong were leading the main force of the peasant army to go straight to Fengyang Mansion, preparing to dig his ancestral grave!
