The news of the great victory spread all over the south of He1, and Li Xiuwen won the title of "General of Constant Victory". There is no one in the world who can compare with him.

Hong Chengchou had no way out, and after thinking seriously for a few days, he also chose to take refuge in Li Xiuwen.

Since then, Li Xiuwen's elite soldiers and good generals have gathered and become the veritable lord of He1 South.

Sun Chuanting personally led people out of the city to greet this "victorious general".

In fact, Li Xiuwen's ability to win against Hong Chengchou is inseparable from his strategy, but there are not many people who know about it, and he doesn't care too much about it.

Li Xiuwen's preferential treatment has already flattered him, and now it is time for him to reciprocate.

The eldest son, Sun Shirui, also went out of the city with him this time, and stood behind him.

As early as when he was studying in Jingshi Guozijian, Sun Shirui had heard of Li Xiuwen's name more than once. was able to get out smoothly this time, and it was all thanks to Li Xiuwen's spies that he escaped from the capital.

Sun Shirui has no opinion on his father's decision to join Li Xiuwen. In fact, the Sun family can't speak for him at the moment.

Sun Shirui is not a nerd, and he understands the truth of knowing the grace of retribution, and does not treat Li Xiuwen as a rebel and thief. Again, he also knew that his father was not a person who coveted glory and wealth, and there must be a reason for his choice.

A team of light horsemen from afar arrived first, and Li Xiuwen, surrounded by his own soldiers, slowly came towards this side. At this time, he was wearing a dark python robe, sitting on horseback, looking heroic.

Sun Chuanting and the others hurriedly greeted him, congratulating the young general on his triumphant return.

Li Xiuwen turned over and dismounted, looked at Sun Chuanting, Li Yan, Ma Mingda, Zhao Xiong and others in front of him, looked at everyone one by one, and then said with a smile: "This time I was able to repel the Ming army, thanks to Lord Sun's strategy, my name as a victorious general is not worthy of my name!" ”

"The general is too modest!" Everyone said in unison.

The people got on their horses, and those who got on the carriage got into the car, and went to the general's house.

Long before he came back, Li Xiuwen sent a letter to his subordinates, asking them to rush back to discuss important matters. This major event is naturally the future development route.

Back at the General's Mansion, Li Xiuwen didn't have time to meet his family, so he took a group of people to the meeting hall.

As a result, Li Xiuwen's first sentence when he sat down shocked everyone.

"Rest for a few days, let's wave our division to the north and go straight to the Beijing Division!"

Li Xiuwen's decision this time made everyone a little stunned.

Hit the capital?

It's not something that can be done just by talking. Although there are no soldiers to fight in the imperial court today, once they enter the capital, reinforcements from all over the country will choose to come back.

After all, it was the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty!

"Okay, wave the division to the north and go straight to the Beijing division!"

The first to agree was not someone else, but Zhang Yunying, the red lady who was also called back by Li Xiuwen this time.

Everyone looked at her, with a wry smile on their faces, not to mention hitting the capital, even if Li Xiuwen asked you to accompany him to jump into the sea, I'm afraid you won't object, right?

By now, everyone present could see that there was some inexplicable relationship between this White Lotus Sect Master and Li Xiuwen. As long as Li Xiuwen meant, I haven't seen her say a word "no".

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Li Xiuwen coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said: "Everyone, this general is not a presumptuous person, but now that Zhang Xianzhong is making trouble in Shu, and Yang Sichang is leading most of the troops of the imperial court to encircle and suppress it. I have made an alliance with him, and he will never lead the men and horses of the court to the south of the river1. ”

"Therefore, now the imperial court is empty, and the Beijing division is only guarded by three battalions of men and horses, known as a division of 100,000 people......"

After a pause, Li Xiuwen looked at everyone and said with a smile: "You should know that this 100,000 army is just a trick to bluff people, and there may not even be forty percent of the soldiers, but there are even fewer soldiers in battle." At this time, it is a good time for us to march! ”

Hong Chengchou had already known Li Xiuwen's decision, but he had just taken refuge, so naturally he was not too public, so he just sat there and listened quietly.

Li Xiuwen and he analyzed the form, and both of them believed that this was the best time, and the certainty of winning the Jingshi was very great.

Sun Chuanting thought for a moment and said: "What the general said is extremely true, but we only have tens of thousands of elite soldiers now, and self-protection is not a problem, but if we go north, I am afraid that we will not be sure." The defense of the Jingshi city is strong, and it is not easy to attack! ”

Li Xiuwen bowed his head lightly, Sun Chuanting could think of this, which showed that this person was indeed a handsome talent. He had also thought about this before, but he already had a solution, so he didn't sell it anymore at this time, but said directly: "We can increase the number of troops by another 100,000!" ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, how to increase the number of troops by 100,000 in a short period of time?

Li Xiuwen is so confident, and there is a reason for him. You must know that He1 is located in the Central Plains and has a large population, so it is not a problem to recruit soldiers.

Otherwise, how could Li Zicheng in history pull up more than 100,000 or 200,000 horses in Henan after only 18 horsemen were left?

Of course, most of Li Zicheng's increased numbers are homeless. It was also a natural disaster that caused many displaced people to join his command in order to develop and grow.

Now that He1 South is peaceful, it is obviously impossible to increase the number of troops by 100,000 at once, but tens of thousands of people can still be recruited.

In fact, the military salary of the imperial court is not low, even for ordinary soldiers, every month of military rations plus military salaries, it costs several taels of silver.

Of course, this is just the budget of the imperial court, and when it really comes to the soldiers, there are very few, and it is not easy to even eat enough.

The treatment of being a soldier under Li Xiuwen is not bad, and many ordinary people are willing. Therefore, it is not a problem to recruit fifty or sixty thousand people in a short period of time.

And the 40,000 people who are still missing are naturally absorbed all the way.

Li Xiuwen's plan was to divide the troops into three routes, Shanxi, Daimyo's Mansion, and Zhending Mansion each with one road, and then join Zhuo County.

After all, if more than 100,000 people were gathered together and marched in two teams without dividing their troops, the front army might have already reached Shunde Mansion, and the rear army was still in Weihui Mansion.

The official road in these years can accommodate no less than so many people in parallel,

In this way, if you march on the three routes, you can collect a lot of imperial army along the way. Although those soldiers didn't have much combat power, it was still possible to gather numbers and shout and charge during the siege.

In the end, it is the elite army that really breaks through the city.

When everyone heard his idea, they all thought it was very feasible, but if he attacked the capital, in what name?

If you don't have a name, you will be much weaker in terms of momentum.

Li Xiuwen even thought about this, so he took the Qingjun side as the name. In all dynasties, the rebels seem to have used this name.

Only this time, no one spoke out in favor of it. Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and others even directly spoke out against it. (To be continued.) )
