Chapter 481: Preparation
Li Yichuan, the sweeping king who was in Fengxiang Mansion, and Liu Guoneng, who broke into the sky, got together to discuss, and it has been two days, and the two have not been able to make a decision, but the resentment in their hearts has reached the verge of exploding.
It was getting dark, the day of departure was approaching, and the two were about to gather their team and set off.
At this time, both of them felt that many things needed to be understood in a unified manner, otherwise this conquest would inevitably encounter too many things, even things that could not be controlled.
Liu Guoneng arrived at Li Yichuan's residence.
After the two sat down, they still didn't say anything, there were drinks and dishes on the table, and Liu Guoneng drank a glass of wine sullenly.
"Brother Liu, you and I are about to set off with Dashuai, in the past two days, we have talked about a lot of things, but we have not been able to determine the specific ideas, today is a rare opportunity, we are about to set off, if we can't come up with specific opinions, I'm afraid the prospects are not good."
Liu Guoneng put the wine bowl on the table fiercely.
"Brother Li, you just don't say it, I also want to say it, so long time has passed, we have always been in Fengxiang Mansion, the conditions here are not as good as Hanzhong Mansion, we have endured hardships, who knows how to do it, besides, the rebels stationed in Fengxiang Mansion are you and me, this time we have all mobilized you and me, and then we will attack the Jiangning camp and complete such a suicidal task, don't you want to give up this place in Fengxiang Mansion."
Li Yichuan lowered his head and did not speak, these are all old words revisited.
"Brother Li, I have long found out that Li Zicheng's mind is not ordinary, a few days ago, I often went to Hanzhong Mansion, and I also came into contact with the rest of the brothers, Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui, and the Eight Kings were all killed by the imperial court. The main leaders of the rebel army are slowly becoming fewer, and they used to follow their brothers, their status is basically nothing, and their words don't count, and they have to look at the faces of Li Zicheng and others to do things. Even if it is Luo Rucai, it may not be able to have much effect. ”
"This is not necessarily, the handsome man went out to fight, and it was not Luo Rucai who was directly responsible at home."
"Hmph, this is called the Ecstasy Array, who doesn't know that Li Zicheng is the nephew of the big handsome, if the big handsome goes out to fight, everything is Li Zicheng is in charge, what will the many brothers think. Let me tell you the truth, after this meeting, He Yilong came to me and talked about some things about Li Zicheng, and also talked about his own worries. ”
This topic was brought up by Liu Guoneng for the first time, and Li Yichuan also knew a little about the reason. But it's not that detailed, Liu Guoneng is flexible. likes to contact many brothers, speaks very freely, and has a good relationship with everyone, Li Yichuan is silent a lot, and most of the time, he is alone.
"Brother Liu will tell me in detail."
He Yilong has a great opinion of Li Zicheng. The main thing is in command, Li Zicheng has already revealed his meaning, integrating all the sergeants of the righteous army into one, just like the army of the imperial court. This was not a big deal, and if the rebels could not form a group, there would be little hope. ”
"Well, I feel that way, too."
"But Li Zicheng's approach must be problematic, I heard He Yilong say that Li Zicheng intends to exclude many brothers, except for obedient people, the rest must be cleaned up, and He Yilong also said, this time to send troops out of Lu to conquer, it is thoughtful, you and I are not inquisitive people, stationed in Fengxiang Mansion, reluctant to go to Hanzhong Mansion, the marshal does not matter, but Li Zicheng thinks that this is not good, so this time we all went on the expedition, it is estimated that after the expedition, we will not be able to return to Fengxiang."
Li Yichuan's face changed, he and Liu Guoneng had discussed many times, but these words, Liu Guoneng put them forward for the first time today, and they were very true. The meaning of these words is very clear.
Li Yichuan has long had some bad ideas, he and Liu Guoneng have always been active around Fengxiang Mansion, accepting Gao Yingxiang's remote command, there was nothing in the early days, it was very free, and the battle was carried out according to their own ideas, but in recent months, their actions have obviously been more interfered with, Gao Yingxiang has already put it forward, and at the right time, the two left Fengxiang Mansion and settled in Hanzhong Mansion.
Rendezvous with a large army, this is not a big deal, in order to survive, it must also be done, otherwise the Jiangning battalion enters Shaanxi and stays in Fengxiang Mansion, which is very dangerous, but Li Yichuan noticed that the big and small leaders gathered in Hanzhong Mansion seem to have gradually lost their command, and they are unified to obey Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, including Luo Rucai, who do not have much actual power.
The sergeants of Hanzhong Mansion, including the sergeants of Fengxiang Mansion, had a very good impression of Li Zicheng, and it was generally believed that Li Zicheng was a very good leader who was sympathetic to his subordinates, set an example, and cared for the sergeants.
Liu Guoneng said such words, Li Yichuan would not continue to pretend to be stupid, this involved his own interests.
"Brother Liu, what do you think?"
"Brother Li, you and I each have ideas about such a big thing, why do I need to say it."
Li Yichuan stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, and looked outside, there was no one, and the sergeant standing guard was about ten meters away from the door.
After closing the door, Li Yichuan spoke very seriously.
"Brother Liu, the matter you and I are discussing has already involved the interests of you and me, we don't need to hide it, if you have any ideas, say it quickly, if it is feasible, we will do it."
Liu Guoneng also looked very serious.
"Okay, Brother Li, let me ask you a question, this time we went out to fight, facing the Jiangning battalion, do you think we have a chance of winning, or will we be defeated?"
Li Yichuan shook his head, he had obviously thought about this question.
"Brother Liu, I think that the purpose of our expedition this time is not to defeat the Jiangning battalion, that will not be possible, Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui, and Zhang Xianzhong have all been defeated by the Jiangning battalion, and we want to defeat the Jiangning battalion, which is like ascending to the sky."
"Well, I also think so, since we have no chance of winning, why do we have to go to the expedition, what is the purpose, is it to fight with the Jiangning camp and come back directly, or to fight to the death with the Jiangning camp."
Li Yichuan was stunned, he hadn't thought about this question.
"Brother Li must have never thought about this matter, but I have thought about it, this time I went out to fight, there is absolutely no chance of winning, if the Jiangning battalion was so easy to deal with, it would have been defeated by the Tartars a long time ago, since there is no chance of winning, why do you have to go to the battle, and you and I have all been dispatched, is it an ulterior motive to do this."
Li Yichuan's face was a little pale.
"Brother Liu means to borrow a knife to kill people."
Liu Guoneng nodded, a sneer on his face.
"Brother Li, I won't tell you, I have discussed with He Yilong, and I have long suspected the motive of this operation, you and I have always been in Fengxiang Mansion, not under the direct leadership of the marshal, will people rest assured of us, besides, over there in Hanzhong Mansion, there is an obvious contradiction between Li Wanqing and Li Zicheng, and He Yilong, so let's leave with the front foot, and He Yilong said with the back foot, why don't you send his sergeants to go out of Lu to conquer together."
Li Yichuan's face became more and more pale, and he could faintly see cyan.
"He Yilong has long felt that Li Zicheng has the idea of eliminating dissidents, and is ready to bring all the sergeants under his command and implement unified command, this process is definitely not easy, this opportunity is here, the Jiangning battalion has come to Shaanxi, and the righteous army is facing a huge threat, at this time, sending troops to contact the Jiangning battalion, regardless of victory or defeat, can boost morale, such a suggestion, everyone will not object, and cannot object."
"To put it bluntly, you and I are both scapegoats, including Li Wanqing, this time we went to fight, I even think that we don't have to think about it, we can return to Fengxiang Mansion, and we don't even have the opportunity to go to Hanzhong Mansion."
Li Yichuan's face turned iron-blue, and he almost gritted his teeth.
"Brother Liu, since this is the case, then tell me what we should do."
At this time, Liu Guoneng seemed a little hesitant and didn't want to continue to speak.
"Brother Liu, I just said that the matter has come to this point, so don't doubt each other, I completely believe what you said, but I just learned about these situations, and I didn't think of how to deal with it at all, and I asked Brother Liu to tell me truthfully what to do."
Liu Guoneng's. A smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Li, then I'm not welcome, when we rebelled, what was the purpose, not to be able to eat well, to be able to live a good life, so many years have passed, we are struggling, but from this goal, it seems to be getting farther and farther away, this time, it is even difficult to save our lives, since this is the case, why don't we find another way out by ourselves."
Li Yichuan nodded slightly, he already understood what Liu Guoneng meant.
"Brother Liu, this is difficult, I heard that Master Su is very powerful, will he accept us."
The change of title shows that Li Yichuan already has the intention of surrendering.
Liu Guoneng was finally relieved.
"Brother Li, I don't think it's a big problem, this opportunity, we must seize it, Lord Su definitely needs to vote, this is the best opportunity, we will go to conquer the Jiangning camp, this is top secret news, as long as we report this news to Lord Su in its original form, in the process of the battle, move some hands and feet, think of some ways, so that the marshal has no chance to survive, we will definitely be able to get Lord Su's appreciation."
Li Yichuan stood up again and walked back and forth in the room for a few steps.
Finally, he made up his mind and slammed the table hard.
"Okay, that's it, it's not poisonous, it's not a husband, and it's out of the way."
Next, the two began to discuss the specific method, and they had to plan carefully to ensure success. (To be continued......)
