"Good news, good news, good news, good news!"

In Luoyang City, Xiong Wencan, who was annoyed and angry because of the news of the defeat of Deng Xi's subordinates, was suddenly attracted by the shouting of the staff around him.

"What's the good news for you, a guy who has always been moody, to become like this?"

Xiong Wencan was very curious, the staff member beside him, who had been following him for some years, rarely had such a disgrace and waiting, but judging from his excited and happy face, at least this news was not bad news for him.

Now he can't hear any bad news anymore.

"Jinyiwei came to report that the Nanyang thief Li Zicheng's department was split, and Hao Yongzhong, the general under the command of the department, turned away from the thief and went west with tens of thousands of soldiers, it seems that he is going to set up his own door!"

The staff member's surname is Fan, his name is Jin, and he was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because of the hopeless relationship of the imperial examination, he finally defected to Xiong Wencan with the relationship of his fellow villagers, and gave him advice and did a lot of things.

"Oh? Is this message reliable? ”

Xiong Wencan is overjoyed, now his henchmen are in great trouble, except for the thief Li Zicheng who is entrenched in Nanyang, there is no one else, if Li Zicheng's army really falls apart, then for Xiong Wencan, it is really a golden opportunity.

The only fly in the ointment is that this news came a little late, if it was when Deng Xi's troops had not yet been defeated, the Ming army could take this opportunity to make a fuss and see if there was a chance to give the thieves a heavy blow, but it was a greater chance of victory than when Deng Xi and their troops were directly dispatched before.

"It's true, the information obtained by Gu Jinyiwei's spies seems to be because the thief Li Zicheng was too harsh on Hao Yongzhong and others from Gao Yingxiang's old department, which made Hao Yongzhong's soldiers dissatisfied, and then forced Hao Yongzhong to rebel against the thief Li Zicheng."

Fan Jin was overjoyed, and told Xiong Wencan what he knew to Xiong Wencan.

"Did the thief do anything?"

Xiong Wencan was more concerned about Li Zicheng's actions and hurriedly asked.

"Uh...... I heard that after learning that Hao Yongzhong was reversed, he did not send people to chase Hao Yongzhong's department, but widely advertised a document and publicized it to many generals, which roughly means that although Hao Yongzhong rebelled against his own team, but the friendship with himself was still the same, and I hope that Hao Yongzhong can go all the way smoothly, which makes it clear that they are all from peasants, so there can be no situation of fighting in the nest, and let other peasant army generals take it as a warning! ”

"Heh, this thief is not an ordinary person!"

Xiong Wencan was slightly disappointed, he didn't expect that the thief Li Zicheng's final handling method could be said to be leaky, eliminating the biggest hidden danger of their team, and his prestige might not only not decline because of the general's reversal this time, but would win the hearts of other generals.

"It's a pity!"

Fan Jin also regretted that this was originally the biggest challenge to Li Zicheng's position as the leader, but it was easily resolved by Li Zicheng.

"Actually, it's not a pity, Hao Shaoqi's rebellion is a good news for our Henan officials."

It's just a pity that after waiting for a while, Xiong Wencan turned his head and cleaned up his mood, and still said with a smile: "I lost Hao Shaoqi, a general, and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, plus the number of peasant armies wiped out by Deng Xi and Li Tianyang's two general soldiers before, I am afraid that this thief is now tired of dealing with the weakening of the team, and the threat to our Henan Zhufu County is a lot less!" ”

"This is a thing, according to his subordinates, the loss of his thief, without half a year's effort, I am afraid it will be difficult to fully recover, but this night has given us more time to prepare."

Fan Jin nodded, agreeing with the old man's view, which was also an important reason why he was happy along the way.

And long before Xiong Wencan and the others learned the news, Li Tianyang and the others had actually learned the news that Hao Shaoqi and his gang had turned against Li Zicheng, and even compared with the information of Jinyiwei, the information of Hongmen Waiwei and other information was more detailed.

It is not so much intelligence, but rather that this was originally an operation led by the members of the Red Spy War Station, and the peasant army broke into the side of the leader of the king Li Zicheng, and Hongmen planted many spies around him; Similarly, under the command of generals in the peasant army such as Hao Yongzhong, Liu Zongmin, and Tian Jianxiu, Hongmen also saw the needles, or planted or bought some personnel in them.

It's just that not everyone is as lucky as He Sanjiang and Bai Yushan, there is always such a good opportunity for them to climb up, and around the rest of the generals, many of the chess pieces planted in the spy war are more in a painless middle and low-level position, and it is difficult to have any big effect.

That is, Hao Yongzhong, who is not treated by Li Zicheng, needs to rely on himself to find the replenishment of soldiers, and talents need to be discovered by himself, so the spies around Hao Yongzhong where the Hongmen spy war is located are more influential on Hao Yongzhong than the spies placed around several other generals.

Among them, as Hao Yongzhong's most favored general, You Tao himself is the spy placed by Hao Yongzhong's side by the Hongmen spy war, and under him, there are three or four spies who follow Hao Yongzhong's side, and their status and strength should not be underestimated.

Li Tianyang himself wanted to curb Li Zicheng's idea of peeping into Luoyang and going north to Beijing, and at the same time he couldn't expose the overall strength of the Hongmen army too much, so he naturally wouldn't be without other preparations.

Li Tianyang was not the kind of arrogant person, thinking that with more than 10,000 soldiers, he could pose a threat to Li Zicheng's peasant army.

When he was in his hometown, he studied countless times with many soldiers and members of the Aircraft Department, and formulated many phalanx plans before he acted.

Hao Yongzhong was instigated by You Tao and them to betray Li Zicheng, in Li Tian's plan to raise them, it was originally a layout that had been set up a long time ago, and now the implementation is actually in Li Tianyang's expectations.

"How's the battle going on in the southwest Yang Sichang?"

Although he was located in Henan, Li Tianyang was also very concerned about the battle between Zhang Xianzhong and Yang Sichang in the West.

"My lord, Zhang Xianzhong has broken into Sichuan, the country of abundance, and is taking advantage of the mountainous environment of Sichuan to deal with our Yang scholars, our Yang University scholars have strong troops, but they have not been able to find the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's department, and they have been played around, it seems that this battle is still fought!"

Yao Qisheng's tone of voice was a little contemptuous of this scholar who was highly valued by the Ming Emperor, and he had a powerful army, but he was disgraced by a peasant army, and he was quite suspicious of being ambitious and talented.

"Okay, okay, how are the people going is their business, we still have a tough battle to fight next, you should hurry up and give a plan to drive Li Zicheng and his gang out of Henan as soon as possible!"

Li Tianyang glanced up at Yao Qisheng, and then began to assign tasks to them, so that they would have some sleep and do something, so as not to stare at the sky with their eyes and noses.

"Yes!"
