Chapter 463: Night Escape

"King Chuang!"

"King Chuang, why did you let Lao Hui go back to the four of them to Xincai, do you know that our little Yuan camp suffered multiple casualties because of this?"

Yuan Shizhong was holding a waist knife, his eyes were wide open when he spoke, and when he entered the door, he saw that Gao Yigong, Niu Jinxing, Li Shuangxi and others were all there, and then looked at Li Zicheng's gradually gloomy face, and then he gradually panicked.

"Yuan Shizhong, King Shun has his own reasons for doing this, why, I have to explain it to you!"

It was Niu Jinxing who said this, he had always been gentle-looking, but at this time he also became very stubble, indeed, Yuan Shizhong's approach today was too much to put King Shun and a group of subordinate generals in his eyes.

Li Shuangxi stood up and snorted coldly:

"It's still called King Chuang, Yuan Shizhong, isn't it time to change your words!"

Li Guo also got up angrily this time, pointed to his nose and shouted:

"Yuan Shizhong, King Shun is doing things, do you still have to report to you, you are too presumptuous!"

At this time, Li Zicheng waved his hand, propped up the table with both hands to look at the map, and said lightly:

"Leader Yuan, why did you send the old man back to Xincai, I have my own plans in my heart, just save me some face, there is no need to get to the bottom of it."

Li Zicheng said this with a strong dissatisfaction, although he did not show it, it still made several people in the room a little jealous, and they didn't say more.

Hearing this tone, how could Yuan Shizhong not know that Li Zicheng had already moved his killing intent, and hurriedly threw the knife on the ground with a "clang", and stammered:

"Chuang, Shun Wang Dadu, there is still a war on Fengyang's side that has not been resolved, this time I am offended, and I am guilty of ...... crimes."

After speaking, Yuan Shizhong took the road out again, followed by a personal soldier into the house, and reported in a deep voice:

"King Shun, Yuan Shizhong ran away with Xiao Yuanying and ran towards the east."

At present, the situation of the Shun army is getting bigger and bigger, and after more than a year, it has developed from more than 1,000 horses at the beginning to hundreds of thousands of troops today, occupying most of Henan and Huguang.

Everyone watched the momentum of the Shun army become more and more vigorous, and after the battle of Zhuxian Town, the only Qin army with combat power in the Ming Dynasty was killed and wounded, and the rest of the turtles shrank into the pass, and it is said that no matter how Chongzhen urged, they would no longer go out of the pass.

It is obvious that the imperial court is already powerless.

Now even a pawn under the Shun army can understand that the Ming Dynasty is about to end, and following the new Shun King is the best choice, as for the Shandong army, they are rushing to be a minion of the Ming court, don't mention it.

Li Shuangxi was a little impatient, there was no city government, although Li Guo and Gao Yigong knew how to cover up, they could also easily see what they were thinking.

As for Niu Jinxing, the chief military division of the Shun army, he dreamed of changing the dynasty and becoming a character like Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, and his city and bearing were also very limited, and even the high level of his composure was a little exaggerated.

It is also said that if King Shun succeeds in building the country, they will be able to follow and become the founding fathers, and maybe they can have a good time with the titles of several famous generals.

For such a situation, the ambition of Li Zicheng, the king of Xinshun, is naturally becoming more and more inflated, and since Song Xiance gave the hexagram of "Eighteen Children's Main Artifact", his heart is gradually moving closer to the ultimate goal.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Zicheng changed his habit of wandering around the country in the past, began to occupy territory, and he has always been "living a hard life", and he has been extremely strict with his subordinates.

Li Zicheng clearly has the heart to do big things, and the generals under him are not fools, so they naturally know when to enjoy it, and they are eager, and they stand with Li Zicheng in everything.

In fact, there are no real feelings, but they have the same position, Li Zicheng is quite an emperor, their hearts are not so big, just be a famous hero of the founding of the country.

Hearing the words of this pro-soldier, everyone in the house was shocked, and Li Shuangxi even screamed out loud.

"What did you say, Yuan Shizhong went to the east?"

Gao Yigong got up and said in a deep voice:

"King Shun, not far to the east is the garrison of the Shandong Army, Eagle Face has been ordered by Wang Zheng, and is now stationed in Cao County, if Xiao Yuanying defects to the past, it will be a big disaster!"

Hearing this, Li Shuangxi asked:

"Who's Hawkface?"

Gao Yigong looked at him like a fool, and asked rhetorically:

"Hawkface, you don't know yet?"

"He is another strong general under the king's fight, two bloody battles, each time the weak defeated the strong, it is said that the appearance is like an eagle's face, so he is nicknamed Eagle Face, and his real name is called a knife."

Speaking of this, Gao Yigong sat back in his chair in a dejected manner and continued to open his mouth:

"If Yuan Shizhong runs there, there is no way."

Niu Jinxing also knew that the Shandong Army was under the jurisdiction of the generals, and seeing that Li Zicheng was hesitant, he said eagerly:

"Shun Wang, if you want to achieve great things, you must not have the kindness of a woman, do you see that Wang Zheng has any mercy to people, give an order quickly."

Just as he was worried, Li Guo's horse team lieutenant walked in and whispered a few words to him, Li Guo hurriedly got up and bowed after hearing it, and said sullenly:

"King Shun, Yuan Shizhong killed the general of my horse team, and went east with the head, look at the direction, it is Cao County!"

Hearing Li Guo's loud voice shouting here, Li Zicheng secretly regretted in his heart, why didn't he cut down Yuan Shizhong?

Yuan Shizhong's prestige among the peasant army was not low, and the small Yuan battalion under his command had nearly 200,000 people at its peak, and repeatedly defeated the official army.

At the moment, although there are only tens of thousands left, his reputation remains unchanged, and if he runs like this, the million-dollar army of the Shun army will collapse.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng said coldly:

"Li Guo, you quickly go to transfer the old battalion horse team, and immediately set off to pursue, Li Shuangxi, you go to General Quan He Jin, let him stabilize the camp outside the city, Gao Yigong, you go to Liu Fangliang in person, and the two of you will go to Hao Shaoqi immediately after the round, and lead the troops to Xiangyang with him."

"Li Shuangxi, after you came back from He Jinna, you will stay in Xiangyang City and Mr. Niu will be in charge, at this time, there must be no chaos."

Li Zicheng gave orders one by one, and the people in the house reacted, as if they had found the backbone, and hurriedly ran out after answering the order loudly.

Li Zicheng put on white armor and a felt hat and windbreaker under the service of his own soldiers, and after about half an hour's effort, he and Li Guodian Qi's old camp horse team rumbled along the route of Xiao Yuan's camp.

It's the middle of the night, and the action is hasty, but today, the headquarters of the Shun army has been in battle for a long time, and the efficiency is surprisingly high.

Originally, when I heard the news of Yuan Shizhong's rout and escape, there was already some chaos inside and outside the city, but under the running of Gao Yigong, He Jin, Hao Shaoqi, Niu Jinxing, Li Shuangxi and others, the situation was quickly stabilized.

The old battalion horse team under Li Guo is the first elite existence in the Shun army, and many of them are old people in Shaanxi back then, and many of them are Huguang locals, and they chased after them along the nearest road.

Tens of thousands of horses in the small Yuan battalion, running together in a chaotic manner, the movement of the army is also very easy to control and master, there are more than a dozen horsemen in the front of the Shun army who are responsible for leading the way, they often dismount and take a cursory look, they can point out a general direction.
