The distribution of the camp of the Dashun army is also a plum blossom shape, and Li Zicheng's Chinese army camp is guarded in the middle by the camps of other generals.

When Jiang Chuan convened the generals to discuss the matter, Li Zicheng also convened his generals to discuss countermeasures.

In the spacious and tall tent, Li Zicheng leaned on the emperor's throne covered with a tiger skin, still wearing his trademark felt hat, and in his right hand held a cigarette pouch and pot made of jade, and from time to time he took a puff or two, and then spit out a puff of smoke.

On the two rows of chairs below, sat some of Li Zicheng's major civil and military ministers.

Wenchen mainly includes military advisors Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen and several others.

There are many generals, such as Arida Jianxiu, Liu Zongmin, Li Yan, Li Laiheng, He Jin, Dang Shousu and others.

Two of these chairs were empty, one of them was the third chair on the general's side, and the other was the last in line.

It's just that everyone knows that the people in these two chairs will never appear again.

Li Zicheng looked at the cigarette bag and pot, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word, and the others were also sitting on their chairs, some looked at the top of the tent, some looked at the ground, and some looked at the faces of the people opposite, and the atmosphere in the whole tent was very depressing.

Li Zicheng didn't speak, and no one dared to speak first, for fear of touching the mold.

Everyone knows that Gao Yigong is Li Zicheng's most trusted confidant general, and he is also his brother-in-law. Although Li Zicheng is a hero, he respects his wife Gao very much.

Even with Gao Yigong, the wife and brother are very important.

Of course, Gao Yigong's ability and character also made Li Zicheng trust him even more, and handed over many things to Gao Yigong to do, which can be said to be Li Zicheng's most trusted person.

The day before yesterday, let Gao Yigong take 100,000 horses to attack the 30,000 forwards of the Jiang family's army, originally thinking that it would be a safe thing. As long as the army arrives, the Jiang family army will inevitably retreat in horror.

But he never expected that in less than half a day, the 100,000-strong army was completely defeated and completely collapsed, and 30,000 or 40,000 were captured by the enemy, and even the main general Gao Yigong was killed.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

Yuan Zongdi, the other leading general, also returned defeated, although he did not die, escaped in time, and picked up a life, but as soon as he came back, he was severely whipped by Li Zicheng more than a dozen times and locked up.

After knowing the news of Gao Yigong's death, Li Zicheng blew up at that time, and immediately wanted to take the army to avenge Gao Yigong, but he was persuaded by Song Xiance, Gu Junen and others.

As for the other generals, when they heard that the enemy was so violent, all the 180,000 troops were reimbursed in less than a day, and even brave and resourceful people like Gao Yigong died in the hands of the other party, and they were silent after weighing their abilities one by one.

When Li Zicheng saw this posture, he knew that the army was timid, and it would definitely not be able to get the slightest benefit from going to war at this time, so he had to give up and order to hold the camp tightly and not go out, and at the same time allocate a part of the troops to strengthen the defense of Tianjinwei.

Because there is a large amount of grain and grass stored there, there is absolutely no room for loss.

The reason for not going out was because the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Jiang Jiajun shocked Li Zicheng, and his original confidence was shattered by the rout of 180,000 horses and the death of Gao Yigong.

He was now beginning to be shocked, and he couldn't figure out what the path of this Jiang Jiajun who he had never paid attention to was.

He does not understand that this is the evil result of his information asymmetry and lack of attention to intelligence work.

If he had learned about the Jiang family's army's achievements in Liaodong earlier, he probably wouldn't have dared to be so careless and underestimate the enemy.

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

When he conquered the city and was about to hit the capital all the way as if he had entered a no-man's land, when the swelling was about to explode, the Jiang Jiajun who was killed halfway poured a large plate of cold water on his head, making him cold from head to toe at once.

He finally discovered that his huge army was not as strong as he imagined, but a vulnerable rabble.

He was panicked and scared, but there was nothing he could do. He summoned his subordinates to discuss for two days in a row, but he did not come up with a result he wanted.

Some people say that it is better to withdraw to Xi'an Mansion, the land of Sanqin, and the land of Sisai, as long as they hold a few major passes, the Jiang army will not be able to enter.

Some people also say that they will march to the city of Nanjing, and when the time comes, they will occupy Nanjing and rule by dividing the river with Jiangchuan.

Some people also say that the city of Xiangyang, which was withdrawn as the emperor, can also be ruled by dividing the river.

In short, there is everything to say, but no one talks about concentrating forces to fight to the death with the Jiang family's army.

Li Zicheng was very annoyed, he didn't expect that these generals under him would be so cowardly now, sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops, and none of them had the courage to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.

He didn't understand why, he was the hardest and poorest back then, and the dozen or so people who were chased by the official army ran around the mountains all survived.

Now that he is the emperor, he has a large group of ministers and generals, with millions of troops, but how can these people become less and less courageous.

The more Li Zicheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally took a hard puff of the cigarette pouch, and then slammed the cigarette pouch pot on the imperial case in front of him: "What the hell are you pretending to be dumb for Lao Tzu?" Let you come to talk and think, not let you be a mud fetus bodhisattva! ”

Hearing that Li Zicheng began to call himself Lao Tzu again, and he didn't even say the word I, the people below knew that Li Zicheng was really angry.

Everyone glanced at each other and looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak.

Li Zicheng was anxious, and pointed to Tian Jianxiu, who was sitting first on the side of the general, and shouted: "Lao Tian, you say, what should I do." ”

Tian Jianxiu is a real person, when he heard Li Zicheng ordering his general, he didn't think of any good way for a long time, he stood up with a red face and said loudly: "Your Majesty, let me lead the troops to fight to the death with those bitches, I don't believe it, they can still be three heads and six arms." They have cannons, and we have them. Isn't it just the dead, to see who dies more. ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he frowned and waved his hand: "Cannon? Just those cannons that we captured? If you don't kill the enemy, you blow yourself up first. Lao Tzu is just this little soldier, you all want to bury me one by one? Sit down. ”

Tian Jianxiu blushed and didn't speak, and sat down silently.

Li Zicheng's eyes swept around, swept Gu Junen with all his thoughts, and pointed at him and said, "Junen, you say." You've always had a good brain, do you already have a way? ”

Gu Junen was noted, his face hesitated, but he still stood up and said: "Tell the emperor, the minister has some ideas, but I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "If you have anything to say, I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

Gu Junen is a civil servant, and Li Zicheng has always paid more attention to his imperial demeanor in front of the civil minister, so he will change his words and call himself me again.

And he said. What the minister means is that we can send someone to negotiate with that Qin King Jiangchuan first to see what he wants? And then think about it in the long run. ”

With Li Zicheng's words, Gu Junen finally boldly said his thoughts.
