Zhu Cunshu has always been the same in Xi'an City, originally only his father, the old King Qin, could be somewhat deterred, but now that the old King Qin is gone, he himself has become the prince of Qin, and he is even more lawless.

Therefore, when Zhu Cunshu heard that Li Yuanyin dared to stop him in person, he suddenly became angry, stood up and pointed at Li Yuanyin's nose and scolded: "Don't think that you are arrogant when you are wearing a flying fish suit, look at what I am wearing?" It's a four-clawed golden dragon robe! Hum! Charge the heavens and the earth, and it's up to me, Jinyiwei is so amazing? ”

Jinyiwei is really so remarkable.

As soon as Ji Qingwen thought of the power of Jinyiwei, he hurriedly came up to persuade him: "Lord, the vassal king is not allowed to go out of the city without permission, that is also the rule of the imperial court." Why don't you wait for my good news in Xi'an first, I'll come back as soon as I'm done, and I'll bring you some new things, okay? ”

Zhu Cunshu listened to Ji Qingwen's words, half of his anger had disappeared, but he still persevered, and said: "What rules, you treat me as a three-year-old child?" Didn't my father go out of the city to lead the army to quell the rebellion before? The first emperor also specially praised it! ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he immediately turned his head and asked Li Yuanyin: "Is there such a thing?" ”

Li Yuanyin was also a newcomer, and he didn't know the precedent in Zhu Cunshu's mouth, so he could only speculate: "The Qin Palace's palace is a little different from other palaces, and it is not completely impossible for the prince to lead the army out of the city. However, in the humble opinion of the last general, it is better to ask the emperor first, and then handle it according to the will......"

"Long-winded!" Zhu Cunshu's anger rose again, "If you fight a few chaotic people, you have to ask the emperor for instructions, there are so many things in the world, isn't Long Live Lord going to be annoyed to death?" Leave this alone, just do what I say. ”

Li Yuanyin has been working for so many years, and the officialdom experience he has accumulated tells him: It is no good to confront the prince of Qin here, anyway, his own duty lies, and the matter of the king of Qin leading the army out of the city without authorization must be reported to the emperor, as for whether the emperor will deal with it and how to deal with it, it is not up to him to decide.

So these soldiers were very fast, and on the same day, they packed up their soldiers and horses, left Xi'an City and headed northwest, towards Yuzhong County, where there was intelligence.

After only two days of leaving, Ji Qingwen began to regret it.

It turned out that Ji Qingwen's regimental training was extremely fast, and he could walk more than 15 miles a day.

And the guards selected by Zhu Cunshu and Qin Wangfu marched slowly, not to mention, and often walked for less than an hour, crying and shouting to their mothers that they couldn't walk, and they had to rest in place.

In this way, they can walk seventy or eighty miles a day, and the speed is only half of the training of Ji Qingwen's subordinates.

However, Ji Qingwen knew that Li Zicheng was very powerful, and once he was slow to deal with it, it was possible to let him develop and grow, and when he was full-fledged, I am afraid it would be difficult to clean it up, and he had to be extinguished as soon as possible.

So Ji Qingwen had a plan, found Chen Wenzhao, who was the leader, and discussed with him whether he could lead the headquarters to practice one step ahead, and the guards of the Qin Wangfu would follow up behind him slowly, so that he could reach Yuzhong as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qingwen's plan was resolutely opposed by Chen Wenzhao.

I think that the Qi army suffered a catastrophe in the "Battle of the Hunhe River", one of the main reasons was that the Qi army from Zhejiang was slightly sluggish, and could not catch up with the speed of the Tusi white pole soldiers from Sichuan. Therefore, it was too late to cross the Hunhe River, and was divided into two pieces of north and south by a large river, and could not take care of each other, and was finally broken by the Jurchens.

With such a painful experience, Chen Wenzhao was of course unwilling to take the risk of going deep alone, and insisted on acting together with the 500 "elite" soldiers temporarily selected and dispatched by the Qin Palace.

Ji Qingwen was anxious, and immediately took out the identity of the weaving admiral and urged Chen Wenzhao to act.

Unexpectedly, he was taught a lesson by Chen Wenzhao: Ji Qingwen should understand the truth of "staying in the green mountains and not worrying about no firewood", and he must not let his elite teachers sacrifice in a meaningless place.

Ji Qingwen is still very unfamiliar with military affairs now, and he knows that Chen Wenzhao has good intentions, and after struggling for a while, he finally did not insist on going his own way.

In this way, the army walked on a barren loess plateau for five full days, and then came to the territory of Yuzhong County.

However, although Yuzhong is a poor county, the area is very vast, if there are no flies to find Li Zicheng's whereabouts, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it will inevitably be fruitless.

At this time, Li Yuanyin's ability to collect intelligence and find out news was finally used in serious affairs - he personally led a few capable soldiers under Ji Qingwen to visit a few old farmers who were waiting to die in a broken temple in a dead wasteland.

After giving these old peasants enough food and silver taels to live, Li Yuanyin finally learned from them: The legendary "King Chuang", "General Chuang", and "Eight Kings" did not secretly grow in the mountains, but actually went to the outside of Yuzhong County to wantonly solicit disaster victims—and the county officials actually hid in the county town and did not dare to come forward to suppress them.

Ji Qingwen knew that Li Zicheng was not easy to deal with, but he was unexpected.

Since Ji Qingwen traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he became a weaving admiral and a minister within three years, and accumulated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his hands - this process seems to be smooth sailing, but in fact it is full of dangers: he was almost murdered by Zhang Xianzhong, almost dragged into the water by Wei Zhongxian, humiliated by Qian Qianyi, and blocked by Shen Shenbi......

He didn't want his hard-won good life to be burned by the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty that swept the world.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingwen couldn't wait any longer, and no matter what Chen Wenzhao's opinion was, he called Li Yuanyin and went to Yuzhong County to investigate the situation.

Chen Wenzhao saw that Ji Qingwen really couldn't stop him, so he had to personally point out ten soldiers who were good at riding horses in the regimental training, escorted Ji Qingwen to go together, and instructed them to probe the enemy from a distance, and return immediately, remembering not to act rashly.

So Ji Qingwen and Li Yuanyin led ten strong martial arts and skilled equestrian team training to Yuzhong County.

The rest of the army, under the leadership of Zhu Cunshu and Chen Wenzhao, followed closely behind and accelerated its advance towards Yuzhong.

Ji Qingwen and his entourage hurriedly hurried up, and finally arrived outside Yuzhong County in the future.

I saw that there were about four or five thousand people gathered under the county seat, although it was not as good as the nearly 100,000 hungry people under the city of Xi'an more than a month ago, but it also surrounded this small county seat.

In the midst of this large group of hungry people, they saw two people standing on a high platform, dancing and shouting to the people outside the city.

A gust of wind wrapped in loess blew, and the voices of the two people came by the way, so that Ji Qingwen vaguely heard their words: "In Yuzhong County, there is no good person from the county magistrate, to the head of the main book, to the official tax collector, to the landlord's old wealth. Only by killing them all can we ordinary people have a way to live! This is called official coercion and civil rebellion! ”

Ji Qingwen took out the telescope he got from Zheng Zhilong, looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw that the faces of the two people standing on the stage were really very familiar - the one who was dancing and speaking generously was Li Zicheng; And another tall man standing behind him was Li Zicheng's uncle Gao Yingxiang.

Another gust of wind blew, blowing Li Zicheng's originally faintly discernible voice intermittently, making Ji Qingwen subconsciously let go of the reins in his hand, and the horse under his crotch misunderstood the master's intentions, and began to move forward slowly.

Li Yuanyin, who was on the side, was shocked when he saw this, hurriedly took a few steps forward, grabbed the reins of Ji Qingwen's mount, and said: "My lord, be careful, the situation over there is unknown, if you rush forward, you are afraid of being outnumbered." ”

Ji Qingwen is not the kind of fool who spares his life, after hearing Li Yuanyin's words, he immediately retracted the reins and asked, "Then what should we do now?" You don't necessarily have to let Li Zicheng deceive people here, right? ”

Li Yuanyin said: "There are too many people on the other side, and a dozen of us go up, which is tantamount to moths to a fire." Or wait for the arrival of the Qin prince and General Chen with a large group of men, and then think about it in the long run? ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he lowered his head and was silent, and suddenly had a plan, stretched out his hand and beckoned a regimental training soldier who followed him closely, and beckoned: "Hey, Meng Hong, look at the person who spoke over there, can you use a musket to kill him for me?" ”
