"It's worthy of being a tiger general of our army!"

Li Acheng personally went out of Nanyang City to greet He Sanjiang, Bai Yushan and other soldiers who returned triumphantly, and rewarded them in front of everyone.

"Pass on Gu's order and reward the soldiers of the three armies!"

It has been almost ten years since the peasant army revolted, but there are only a handful of times when it can take a shot and fight head-on to win a beautiful battle.

More often than not, it was the peasant army that was harvested by the army of the Ming Dynasty government, like harvesting leeks, harvesting their lowly heads one after another.

Li Zicheng knows very well that his army seems to be large-scale, but in fact its combat effectiveness is very low, although the army given to He Sanjiang is more than twice that of Deng Ximing's army, but in Li Zicheng's opinion, in fact, the real strength of the two sides is similar.

And after experiencing the fiasco last year, although Li Zicheng hated the Ming Dynasty government more on the surface and had a stronger fighting spirit, he still unconsciously had some frustration and a sense of fear for the Ming Dynasty's army.

This time, He Sanjiang and they used their extremely excellent command skills to tap out the greatest combat effectiveness of the peasant army, and achieved the greatest results at the lowest cost, and most importantly, they also completely defeated the elite of the Ming Dynasty garrison in Henan.

"Fortunately, I will not be dishonored, and the last general will lead all the soldiers to thank the king for his reward!"

He Sanjiang, Bai Yushan, and Peng Zhihai led the generals one after another.

This seems to be a real battle, but in fact, in He Sanjiang's opinion, there are too many cats in the first place, but these cats are not known to the masterminds of both sides.

If Li Tianyang hadn't informed He Sanjiang and Peng Zhihai of all the detailed information about Deng Xi's department and his understanding of Deng Xi's personality, how could He Sanjiang and them always seize the opportunity of Deng Xi's command and let his provenance be frustrated.

Without a detailed understanding of the strength and combat configuration of Deng Xi's 30,000 army, how could He Sanjiang and the others come up with such a plan that could give full play to the numerical advantage of the peasant army and leave enough reserve forces.

But in the same way, if it weren't for Li Tianyang's side who had greeted He Sanjiang and them in advance, I can't say that He Sanjiang and they would have been able to strangled Deng Xi's remnants directly to the end that night, and would not have hastily ended the pursuit of Deng Xi and others because of the addition of Hongtang's army, and returned home.

Even He Sanjiang, in order to further cause losses to the peasant army, specially sent more peasant army officers and soldiers to the area where the Hongtang army was about to bombard, and they were bombed by the Hongtang army, and the casualties were not counted on the spot, which also made them find the best excuse for the termination of the pursuit.

After putting on a show outside the city, they didn't even have time to take off the heavy armor when they returned to the city, and He Sanjiang and the others were recruited by Li Zicheng to the mansion in the city to plan for the next actions of the army.

After the victory in this battle, He Sanjiang and their generals, in Li Zicheng's heart, the status has risen a lot, as Li Zicheng's command is one of the few generals who can give advice, with the victory of this war, He Sanjiang's suggestions will be heavier in Li Zicheng's heart.

In the lobby of the room, Li Zicheng and other confidants Li Xin were already in place, holding a feather fan and sitting on the left hand side of Li Zicheng's main position, and on the right hand side were Liu Zongmin and other old men who started Li Zicheng.

Li Xin was originally a native of Qi County, Kaifeng, Henan, and he was born in a person, but he did not pursue fame like ordinary literati and writers since he was a child, but pursued more merit, so I heard that when Li Zicheng passed through Qi County, Li Xin actually joined the righteous army and became the most useful adviser under Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng can now have great prestige and fame among the people, and can be regarded as the leader of the righteous army from all sides, and most of the credit is due to Li Xin.

"This time, we defeated the army of Deng Xi, the general soldier of Henan, so does it mean that we have the opportunity to go to Luoyang, the thousand-year-old capital?"

Just regained his self-confidence, Li Zicheng began to flutter again, and asked the henchmen around him.

"King, the time is not ripe!"

It was Li Zicheng's most trusted adviser Li Xin who stood up first, and he continued in a calm but persuasive voice: "Although the Ming army suffered heavy losses in this battle, the officers and soldiers stationed in various garrisons were generally not bad, but we ourselves, not only the soldiers and horses of the three generals Liu, Gao, and Tian were directly defeated, but even the main force of our army also suffered great losses in the battle with the Ming thief Deng Xi and others. But this is really not the time to start a war war! ”

"The last general also thinks it's not appropriate!"

Liu Zongmin and others also followed Li Xin and issued advice.

Li Zicheng's face was a little unhappy, the name of King Chuang was originally inherited by Li Zicheng from his uncle Gao Yingxiang, originally in order to be able to increase his reputation and obtain the recognition of several other peasant rebel generals, but with the passage of time, his Li Zicheng's name no longer needs to rely on his uncle's past prestige to spread, gradually, he is a shadow of wanting to get rid of Gao Yingxiang's name and set up a new name himself.

However, Li Zicheng also knows that when it comes to the name of King Chuang, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is naturally him Li Zicheng, and if he changes his name rashly, I am afraid that there will be great trouble.

But he just can't resist the desire in his heart, if he can take over a thousand-year-old capital and several dynasties this time, then can he re-prove his existence to the world by ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, and at the same time let himself live the addiction of being an emperor!

What is the purpose of abandoning one's family and abandoning one's business and licking blood at the tip of the knife, isn't it just for a better future and future, and that future, which can be with the throne under theocracy and above all the people, which is even more heartwarming and intoxicating!

"General He, what do you think?"

Li Zicheng deliberately did not answer the admonitions of the confidants of the generals present, and turned his head to ask He Sanjiang and them.

He Sanjiang had already seen the dissatisfaction on Li Zicheng's face at this time, but he also understood that Li Tianyang, the leader who was deeply respected by the members of the Hongmen, personally led the troops north, in order to be able to curb the eastward advance of the peasant army.

"The last general also believes that this is not the best time to enter Luoyang in the east!"

As if he didn't see Li Zicheng's dissatisfaction, He Sanjiang stood on the side of the military advisor Li Xin.

"Well, then according to the generals! Disappointed, Li Zicheng agreed weakly.
