Chapter 1403 Straight to Nanjing
readx; As soon as Li Zicheng said this, the leaders of the thirteen families no longer mentioned the matter of surrender. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info please search! The fastest updated novel is, they dug up the imperial tomb and formed an enmity with the imperial court, not to mention Zhu Youzhen, even Zhu Yousong may have to settle accounts with them in the future. Surrender? Forget it.
Only Liu Guoneng, Li Wanqing and other leaders who had a desire to surrender secretly thought: Dig the emperor's tomb and rob Fengyang, but you Li Chuangwang and Zhang Xianzhong did it, in fact, we have nothing to do. But for the imperial court, the thirteen families are all thieves, and this time they are marching and fighting together, and it is certain that they will be mixed up, and they can't tell clearly. Now that Li Zicheng is saying this, he is obviously tying the thirteen brothers together with them, and everyone has become grasshoppers on a rope, which is really ruthless!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zicheng smiled slightly and said, "I'll also talk about mine, in fact, I don't think the current situation is so bad." Yes, Lu Xiangsheng's army is very powerful, Sun Chuanting is not weak, and Hong Chengchou is cunning and cunning to preserve his strength, and the White Lotus Sect is a rabble, and they can't be counted on. Lao Hui Cao Xiang said very well that going to Hukou is a dead end.
"And what about the other directions? Lu Xiangsheng is in the north, Sun Chuanting is in the west, wherever we go, we will inevitably have a vicious battle, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. And not far to the east is the sea, and there is not much room for manoeuvre. So according to me, go straight south to Nanjing! ”
"Good!" As soon as Li Zicheng's voice fell, the simple-minded leaders such as He Yilong, the "Ge Li Eye", and He Jin, the "Zuo Jin King", echoed loudly, "It is worthy of King Li Chuang, and we want to go together!" To be honest, we have been fighting too aggrieved in the past two months, we have to take Nanjing, and we must be happy! ”
Sun Yuandi is the most hateful
Sun Yuandi's back investigation is the most hateful, "but in case Lu Xiangsheng moves quickly..."
"Old Huihui" Ma Shouying frowned and said: "King Chuang, when we just went east, didn't we think that Nanjing was not easy to fight, so we didn't fight?" Why do you want to fight again now? ”
"This time and that time." Li Zicheng analyzed confidently, "When we first started marching, the Northern Army had just been sent out of the Beijing Division and had not yet crossed the Yellow River. After all, Nanjing is a fortified city, and if it is fought at that time, it will definitely take time, and it may drag on for a month or two. After the northern army crosses the Yellow River, it will definitely rush to the aid of the starry night, and we will not be able to gain a foothold in the city at all. If we don't fight Nanjing, we can lay down more defense-empty prefectures and counties and quickly expand our strength. Isn't it in our best interest to trade-off? ”
These words caused the leaders to nod frequently. Among the thirteen thieves, except for Zhang Yichuan, who suffered heavy losses in the annihilation of Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing, the rest of the families have indeed made a windfall in the past few months, not only robbing a large amount of food and materials, but also expanding their numbers and horses dramatically. When they first arrived, there were more than 300,000 people with their dependents, and now they have grown to 780,000, with each family ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 and more than 100,000.
"That's right, but now we are going to fight Nanjing, Nanjing is still a strong city?" Ma Shouying continued, "Besides, now that the Northern Army is so close to us, won't they chase us with their butts?" ”
Sun hate, hatred, hatred, ghost, Sun Xue, early feather, trouble
"That's different." A grim light shone out of Li Zicheng's only remaining eye, "It's been a few months since the Three-Way Army raised the matter. Although the Northern Army has won many victories on the battlefield, it has been the end of the crossbow for a few months. The simplest one is that their food and ammunition all have to be transported from the rear, but one is that the road is far away, and the other is that this winter is colder than in previous years, there must be a famine everywhere, and the imperial court is in a hurry, how much military supplies can Lu Xiangsheng be supplied? The official army is not like us, we can rob the rich and help the poor, but Lu Xiangsheng can't, I heard that he is very strict in governing the army, probably not to raise food on the spot, even if he does, he can't raise much. It is conceivable that it must be quite difficult for Lu Xiangsheng to ascend to the army, otherwise he would not have retreated in Pengcheng and not come to attack us for such a long time.
"As for Nanjing, although there are 100,000 officers and soldiers, and there is also the danger of the Yangtze River, I heard that the imperial court also sent the old minister Wang Yuan Keli to guard it in Jin; However, Yuan Keli is dead, Wang Zaijin is a literati after all, and the key is that there are no elite soldiers like Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates, especially not many firearms. If two months ago, we were not sure to fight Nanjing, now it is different: the thirteen male soldiers are nearly one million, that is, they take people to the top, and I Li Zicheng does not believe that I can't go to the city! ”
"Well said!" Lao Huihui was obviously moved by Li Zicheng's words, and slammed his fist on the table and said, "We are willing to take the lead when we go back to the camp!" ”
"I do, too!"
The ship is not cool, the ship is haunted, and the finger is behind
Distant hatred and hatred of the secret feather of the sun
"And me!"
In an instant, the dull atmosphere on the banquet was swept away, and the leaders of the thirteen families were persuaded by Li Zicheng, and they all expressed their attitudes and rushed to fight Nanjing. Of course, they are not trying to be heroes, but everyone wants to grab more fruits of victory. When Li Zicheng saw this scene, he was proud in his heart, but his face was still silent; Only Zhang Xianzhong poured himself a drink with a wicked smile, but he didn't say a word.

At this time, "Cao Xiang" Luo Rucai also smiled and said: "King Li Chuang's idea is really good, as long as Nanjing is conquered, half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River will be endowed with wealth, and it will become our world, and the whole game of chess will be alive." When Zhu Yousong wants to call our brothers again, there will be no door! Originally, I was thinking of bypassing Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting and going back to Henan and Shaanxi, but when I thought about it, there was not much oil and water in these places, and I was afraid that I would not be able to support our hundreds of thousands of troops, so I didn't say anything. Compared to the idea of King Chuang, my idea is simply worthless! ”

In the laughter of everyone, Luo Rucai raised the key question: "But Nanjing is the capital of the imperial court, and as soon as we fight, no matter how difficult it is for Lu Xiangsheng, he has to rush to help." It wouldn't be good if you were really caught between inside and outside the city. Besides, Nanjing has the Yangtze River, and crossing the river is also a big problem. ”
"I've thought of this section." Li Zicheng said, "Brother Cao Xiang said very well, so we want to enter the army this time, just one word, fast!" In this respect, we have an advantage over the northern army: our cavalry will advance first, and by the time Lu Xiangsheng notices it, at least two or three days have passed. At that time, we will attack Chuzhou first, and after taking Chuzhou, we will mobilize the local people to build a large number of small boats and cross the river at the fastest speed. As long as the river is crossed, Lu Xiangsheng will not be able to help us, as soon as the city of Nanjing is broken, without our hands, Zhu Youzhen will also cut off his head! ”
"But in case Lu Xiangsheng moves quickly..."
"In order to be foolproof, we are willing to stay and break the camp, feint to attack Pengcheng, and drag Lu Xiangsheng!" Li Zicheng said categorically, "As long as the leaders can take Nanjing and hit the imperial court hard, I, Li Zicheng, will not count personal gains and losses!" ”
This sentence was unexpected by everyone, but what was even more unexpected was that Zhang Xianzhong also got up with a long smile and said: "Okay, Brother Li has a kind!" I'll also sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, and I'll go with you to meet King Luyan! ”
