Li Zicheng looked at the general He Jin and asked, "Jing Xuan, is the army really invincible in the world that day?" ”

"Return to the king." He Jin thought for a while and said: "The last general has not met with the Tiance army, according to the brothers in the old battalion, this Tiance army has sharp weapons, and it is really difficult to be. I heard that their guns can fire in bursts, and they will either be killed or injured at a distance of 200 paces, and the artillery can hit far and accurately, and it can hit more than ten miles. The Tiance Army also has a chariot made of steel, which is not pulled by oxen and horses, but runs fast, and it really dies when it hits, and it hurts when it rubs it. ”

This He Jin is known as the King of Zuojin, and he was one of the five leaders of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution before he took refuge with Li Zicheng.

The Fifth Battalion of the Revolution was a relatively independent special existence in the various rebel armies in the late Ming Dynasty, and its big leader was Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying.

After Zhang Xianzhong was educated by the Tiance Army in Anqing, he was weak and in a bad situation, so he reported to the regiment with the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left to keep warm. The two sides were relatively happy at the beginning of the cooperation and achieved a series of victories. However, soon after, Zhang Xianzhong's domineering old mistake was committed again, although he took the initiative to take refuge in others, he was noisy, never regarded himself as an outsider, arrogant and rude to other leaders of the people's army, and greeted his parents at every turn.

After covering his nose and cooperating with him for a while, he couldn't bear it, so he didn't even want a base area, left Zhang Xianzhong, and cooperated with Li Zicheng instead.

Li Zicheng is not a good bird, he fell in love with the old battalion team of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, and he had the idea of annexation. So Li Zicheng set up a Hongmen banquet to kill Ge Li Yan He Yilong on the charge of collaborating with the enemy, and the old Hui Ma Yingshou saw that the situation was not good, and fled to Jingzhou, Hubei, and He Jin, the king of Zuojin, took refuge in Li Zicheng. Anyway, after seizing power through a coup d'état, the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left has since returned to Li Zicheng, and the old battalion team of the army has become more and more strong.

Some of the people of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution had fought against the Tiance Army in the Anqing area, so He Jin said this.

Listening to He Jin's words, everyone present showed a look of disbelief.

Liu Zongmin glared at Dahuan and said, "How is it possible?" The firearm can still be fired continuously, the lead can reach 200 paces away, and the artillery can reach 10 miles, this is the exaggeration of the storyteller, right? ”

He Jin nodded and said: "It's not just that, the shells of the Tiance Army are all flowering shells, and they are really a big explosion." ”

Everyone was silent, if the Tiance Army was really as He Jin described, this battle really couldn't be fought.

Li Yan stood up and said: "Jiannu has been suffering for decades, and the Tiance army has been peaceful in a few days, which shows the strength of the Tiance army, so the students think that Guide cannot fight." ”

Strategist Niu Jinxing slapped the feather fan in his hand, and said disapprerovingly: "It may be true that the rumor that the Tiance Army is strong, but the main force of the Tiance Army is thousands of miles away in Liaodong and Jingshi, and I heard that there are only thousands of soldiers in Guide, and only the auxiliary soldiers of the Tiance Army are in Guide, what am I afraid of?" Moreover, the army of King Chuang has just expanded and is in urgent need of food and salary, and the students think that they can quickly return to Germany and strengthen our army. ”

is also a strategist, Li Yan is faintly known as the first strategist of the army, Niu Jinxing is of course unwilling to be left behind, but if Li Yan agrees, Niu Jinxing instinctively wants to oppose it.

Liu Zongmin agreed loudly: "Niu Junshi's words are quite reasonable, since the Guide army is weak, and it is not a real Tiance army, I should be able to make a quick decision, after obtaining food and salary, our army will be transferred to thousands of miles, no matter how strong his Tiance army is, what can I do?" ”

The reason why Liukou is called Liukou is that it has excellent ability to turn in. Liukou has no base, and the monk can't run the temple after running away, it is invalid for them, they eat wherever they go, and the soldiers are gone, and they are coerced! From last year to this year, Li Zicheng's team of less than 100 people inflated like a balloon. This is also a good time to catch up, the Central Plains drought, raise your arms, and all the people will follow.

Li Zicheng was moved, he needed more money and food so that he could gather a larger team, but He Jin's description of Tiance Army made him wonder in his heart.

"Mr. Song, what do you think about this?" Li Zicheng asked the short man Song Xianzhi.

Song Xiance said: "You should know that since the king of Chuang re-raised the banner, he swept through many prefectures and counties in Henan Province in a few months, leaving only a lonely city in Kaifeng. By what? Popularity! The imperial court is weak, natural and man-made disasters are endless, and the people are waiting to be fed, so that our righteous army is invincible. ”

"The so-called winner of the hearts of the people wins the world, the court and the people have lost their hearts, although the army is strong, it is difficult to support the building. What's more, what Wang Yue did was incompatible with the imperial court, and he had a history of rebellion against the imperial court, so it was difficult to guarantee that he would not rebel again, so my righteous army did not have to be afraid of the Tiance army like a tiger. ”

Li Zicheng asked: "What does Mr. Song mean that I can attack and return to Germany?" ”

"Yes!"

"Then can Mr. Song divinate a hexagram and see what the lord is?"

Song Xiance bowed his hand to Li Zicheng and said, "The student takes the order." ”

He used the yarrow method, and a few bamboos swayed dexterously in his hands, making a pleasant sound of collision from time to time.

Everyone in the hall stretched their necks to look at this side, and many generals looked at Song Xiance with awe in their eyes.

Only Li Yan sat with a smile, looking disapproving. He is an orthodox Confucian disciple, the son is silent and strange to blame the gods, although the divination is also broad and profound, and there is a deep support from the I Ching and the Scriptures, but the military affairs are only a hexagram, but it is sloppy.

After a few bursts of bamboo sounds, Song Xiance stopped his movements, stroked his sparse beard and groaned.

Li Zicheng couldn't wait to say, "How about Mr. Song?" Is it evil or auspicious? ”

Song Xiance opened his mouth to speak, his voice was loud and small, fluctuating: "Although this hexagram indicates a slight danger, it lives on the ground, and everyone knows how to avoid it, and can turn danger into a disaster, and pass through the danger. ”

Li Zicheng was overjoyed, his heart was settled, and the young man Li Guo at the bottom said in his heart: "In order to ensure that Mr. Song can take another hexagram?" ”

This Li Guo is Li Zicheng's own nephew, and Song Xiance didn't want to give him a look, but patiently explained: "Divination must not be repeated, and it is true if you have no intention. ”

Li Guo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Li Guo is ignorant, don't blame him." ”

Niu Jinxing, who was next to him, said leisurely with a feather fan: "Since King Chuang intends to return to virtue, the student has a plan to offer." ”

"Oh, sir, please speak quickly." Li Zicheng urged.

Niu Jinxing said with a smile: "Although the city of Guide is not as good as Kaifeng, it is also a big city, and now with the assistance of the security army, the strength of the city has been greatly strengthened." Therefore, the students think that we should launch an internal response to respond to our army's attack on the city, and you should not forget that there are righteous people in the city, and they will also become volunteers. ”

(Dear book friends, I'm very sorry, but I will have to stop for a few days in the near future, because the author has a perianal abscess and needs to be hospitalized.) The cause of perianal abscess is caused by sitting and staying up late, and probably most authors have a higher chance of suffering from this disease)
