After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature dropped sharply, the morning breeze blew on the face, it was already cold, the dew on the grass leaves, wet the soldiers' cloth shoes, the cold water mixed with the pale yellow grass foam stuck to the uppers, the military shoes almost became embroidered shoes, although there are avenues everywhere, but the soil is not compacted, it is not a neat official road, and the soldiers can only walk through the pasture.

But at this moment, no one had the heart to lower their heads to see if their uppers were soaked, and the soldiers were rushing in color, as if they were going to race against the sun.

Li Zicheng rode a yellow horse, tightened his upper clothes, he personally led four hundred soldiers to Xining, rushed to Xining, Qin Danian, Xie Guangze, Song Wen also had a war horse, closely followed behind Li Zicheng, for them, their hearts are more nervous than Li Zicheng, once they can't take Xining City, the soldiers under them, including themselves, are likely to be finished, even if they take Xining, Ganzhou will not sit idly by, and there is still the army of the imperial court.

Although the sun is shining, the haze in the hearts of several hundred households lingers for a while, but Li Zicheng took over all the military power, and it is impossible for them to even send a message to Xining except to follow the crowd, besides, even if they go to Xining, will Wu Shaoling believe it?

With Xining's current troop deployment, there is a chance that Li Zicheng will be able to take it, will Li Zicheng spare himself at that time?

Xie Guang has been thinking about how he can get out of the matter, Li Zicheng has more than 20 loyal soldiers, Li Guo went to Xining first, and the remaining eight small banners are also taken over by Li Zicheng, if you want to directly catch Li Zicheng and ask for credit from Xining, it is impossible, the only way is to escape while the chaos is to escape.

Where can they flee?

Xining is definitely not good, once Li Zicheng breaks Xining, he is not a fish to be slaughtered? Ganzhou, yes, only Ganzhou is safe, at that time, he told everything that happened in Xining, all the chief soldier Yang, not only can get rid of the crime, maybe there is merit, after Li Zicheng's trouble, Xining must be regrouped, and it is not impossible for him to be promoted to a thousand households as a meritorious person.

He secretly glanced at Qin Danian and Song Wen, these two fools, but they were meticulous and tightly behind Li Zicheng, "Hmph, you will know when the time comes, with Li Zicheng, can you still occupy Xining for a long time?" ”

Because Liu Yunshui was a cavalry, the speed of the war horse was extremely fast, and it was necessary to set off an hour later, which was also to minimize the appearance of a large number of Ming troops west of Xining.

After Liu Yunshui left, there were only firefighters left in Zhenhai Fort, although Li Zicheng was a little worried about the stability of the fort, but at this time he couldn't take care of it, there was a triangle city west of Zhenhai Fort, where thousands of herdsmen gathered, as well as a hundred households of Zhou Bin, as long as the Mongols did not come to harass, Zhenhai Fort should not be in chaos.

In case of...... In case anything happens, Li Zicheng can't take care of it, and the key now is Xining City.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

He killed the Ganzhou General Kingdom, slaughtered the forty soldiers of the kingdom, and had already cut off the back road, not to mention Ganzhou, even Xining couldn't spare him, knowing that he was a close confidant of the eunuch Wu Shaoling, but the cooperation between the two sides was not long, the relationship was not solid, and he held more than half of the soldiers of Xining Wei, and sooner or later he would be suspicious of Wu Shaoling, even if he didn't kill the kingdom, he couldn't live a free life in Zhenhai Fort.

Maybe Wu Shaoling is planning how to cut his military power at the moment, at least weaken it.

Although this is just his assumption, Liang Wencheng reminded him last time that with Wu Shaoling's temperament, it is impossible to allow a situation of dominance in Xining, which will threaten Wu Shaoling's authority.

It's just that Li Zicheng has just regained Qiangbao for Xiningke, and Wu Shaoling has no action for the time being, but it will be a matter of time before he unloads the mill and kills the donkey.

"Ma Xuan, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is no comfortable paradise anywhere!" Li Zicheng scolded in his heart, and he also found a reason for himself to have something to do.

The kingdom must be killed, he holds the handle of his own killing, threatening himself at any time, and now that he has killed the kingdom, he can't retreat, take a step forward, maybe there is a way to live, if he retreats, it will be a catastrophe, and it will not be like the next generation, and the body will be directly destroyed.

He killed the kingdom, just gave Wu Shaoling an excuse and opportunity, just let everything go ahead, Xining's punishment of Li Zicheng must be more severe than imagined, in the face of Ganzhou's pressure, Wu Shaoling will protect him Li Zicheng to the death, or will he leave his life?

Li Zicheng shook his head slowly, with Wu Shaoling's gloomy temperament, it would be good if he didn't fall into the well, once he was captured by Ganzhou or Xining, he would definitely not be able to escape death.

In that case, the only way to do this is to rise up and fight.

Li Zicheng is more confident in the combat effectiveness of his subordinate soldiers, the key is that the soldiers in Xining City are too bad, these untrained herdsman soldiers, as long as they get the information of the "enemy attack", they do not want to fight, but to escape. The only thing he worries about is the loyalty of the soldiers, except for Liu Yunshui's department, the rest of the soldiers have not long been recovered, whether it is a soldier or an officer, there is a possibility of rebellion.

So since he decided to start an incident, he blocked the four gates of Zhenhai Fort and strictly forbade anyone to leave the fort, just because he was worried that there were people like Zhao Feng or Wu Shaoling among the sergeants.

This military order was implemented relatively thoroughly, and in Xining City, for the time being, there should be no knowledge of the changes in Zhenhai Fort.

"Da Da ......"

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and about two miles in front of the army, a white war horse seemed to fly to a halt, and the man on horseback had his chest almost against the horse's back, apparently hoping to reduce the resistance of the wind.

Li Zicheng frowned, "Stop him and bring him over!" ”

He Xiaomi made a move, and took seven or eight personal soldiers to meet him, and surrounded the war horse, and the man on the horse was not panicked, and when he saw He Xiaomi, he just slowed down the speed of the horse, and just stopped a few steps in front of He Xiaomi, obviously skilled in controlling the horse.

"Xiaomi?"

"Zisheng? It's you? He Xiaomi was surprised to find that the person who came turned out to be his former companion Zhao Zisheng, after he became an adult's personal soldier, he became a ranger with Wang Anping, and now he has been promoted to a small flag officer.

"Xiaomi, are you there?" Zhao Zisheng gasped and searched in the army, but the distance was too far, and the sergeants were all wearing armor, so they couldn't see clearly for a while.

"Your Excellency, how is the situation in Xining?"

Zhao Zisheng opened his mouth, stopped talking, and finally said: "I'd better report directly to the adult, so as not to delay time." ”

"Your Excellency is waiting for you, go quickly!" He Mi turned the horse's head and led the way in front, although Zhao Zisheng used to be his companion and was still a soldier of the adult's lineage, but now he is a ranger after all, and he has been away for a long time, so he can't compare to his own personal soldier, and he can't approach the adult at will without the order of the adult.

Li Zicheng saw from a distance that He Xiaomi did not take compulsory measures, it was estimated that the person who came was an acquaintance, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Zhao Zisheng, who was sent to Xining City, and he was overjoyed, "Zisheng, is it you?" ”

"Your Excellency!" Zhao Zisheng got off his horse in more than ten steps, walked a few steps, turned over and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng's horse, "His subordinate Zhao Zisheng, on the order of Wang Anping, the chief flag officer of the rangers, came to arraign. ”

"Get up, Zisheng," Li Zicheng turned over and dismounted, looking left and right, Ma Youshui immediately commanded his own soldiers to disperse the surrounding soldiers, and a large area was vacated in the middle, so that Zhao Zisheng could report to Li Zicheng alone.

"Zisheng, how is it in Xining City? Is there any movement in the army? Li Zicheng asked in a low voice.

"My lord," Zhao Zisheng also lowered his voice, "everything is normal in Xining City, there is no sign of soldiers moving in the barracks, and our people have been closely monitoring. ”

The army was not mobilized, which means that Xining does not know what happened in Zhenhai Fort for the time being, Li Zicheng is relieved, it seems that his plan to raid Xining has not been leaked, "Is there any other information?" ”

"Li Baihu has already entered the city, and he asked his subordinates to spread the word to the lord, and they will start to do it, once they seize the city gate, they will guide the lord into the city according to the previous agreement."

"Well, I know," Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Zisheng has worked hard, let's go down and rest first!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Zisheng turned around and jumped on his horse.

Li Zicheng looked at the anxious soldiers, especially the three hundred households, knowing that if they didn't disclose some information, they wouldn't be at ease, so he asked He Xiaoxiao to summon the three of them to come forward, "Three brothers, Xining City has been arranged." ”

"My lord!" Song Wen knew that Li Zicheng sent rangers to Xining, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and after thinking about it, it was strange that the current gang of bigwigs in Xining could defend Xining City.

Xie Guang said in his heart: It seems that Xining City can't be defended, but Li Zicheng got Xining, which is useless for himself, Xining is the land of four wars, there are Mongolian Chahar departments in the west, east, west and south, there are guards of the Ming army, small Xining, all difficulties arise, and the best strategy today is to secretly flee to Ganzhou.

The calculation was finished, but he said: "Congratulations, my lord, it seems that Xining will change hands tonight." ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Everything depends on the efforts of the brothers!" ”

"Don't worry, my lords, my brothers will only look to my lords!" Xie Guang smiled all over his face and bowed to Li Zicheng.

"In that case, let's speed up and get to our destination, and we can still let the brothers rest for a while." Li Zicheng turned over on his horse, and the soldiers who had stopped began to march eastward again, faster than the original speed.

At the end of the day, the army was still ten miles away from Xining City, there was a hillside, and the dense forest just blocked the sight of Xining City, and Li Zicheng hid his war horse here every time he came to Xining by horse.

This time was no exception, the army stopped west of the hillside, ate some dry food, drank some water, and rested on the whole body.

Li Zicheng is also the same as the soldiers, looking for a slope to lie down, looking at the soldiers lying down, Li Zicheng felt a little guilty in his heart, for his own one, he even affected these soldiers, I don't know how many soldiers will be separated from their families forever after tonight.

The sky was getting darker, and the nearby herdsmen had already driven their cattle and sheep home, He Xiaomi quietly came to Li Zicheng's side, "My lord, when will we leave?" ”

"What time is it?" Li Zicheng felt that the sky had just darkened.

"My lord, the unitary time is coming to an end, and we are still ten miles away from Xining!"

"It's still early, let's start in the middle of the war!" Li Zicheng said in his heart, when he arrived outside the city, the soldiers still had to lie in the grass, which was much harder than now, and outside the city, once there was any movement, it was easy to be discovered by the defenders at the head of the city, "Where is Liu Baihu?" ”

"My lord, Liu Baihu has been deployed in place according to the requirements of the adults!"
