A village more than 50 miles away from the city of Dazhou is heavily guarded, and there are no sergeants coming in and out.

A middle-aged man slowly walked out of the village and walked in the field, beside him, followed by a lot of fierce sergeants, always paying attention to the movements around him, behind the middle-aged man, several officers were talking about something in private.

This middle-aged man is Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.

Li Zicheng has detected detailed information this time and is ready to make a big move.

During this time, Li Zicheng's life was not easy.

After leaving Shaanxi and entering Sichuan, the righteous army gained a firm foothold in the shortest possible time, Li Zicheng completely proved his ability, he formulated a strict system for the righteous army, all sergeants who violated the system were engaged in military law, no matter who was involved, even if they were close to their own soldiers, it was the same. The strict system played the greatest role, the righteous army quickly got the support of the people, began to integrate into the local area, then, Li Zicheng commanded the army, carried out an attack, the target was mainly the county and the state city, in just two months, the righteous army actually captured three county seats, got a large number of supplies, in view of the poverty of the people in Sichuan, Li Zicheng ordered to open a warehouse to release grain, to help the people, this move caused a great repercussions, the righteous army began to get the support and love of the people.

Through a series of measures, Li Zicheng has completely consolidated his position, including Luo Rucai and others, who are willing to support his leadership position. The inner part of the rebels became more united than ever.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Sichuan Weisho army and the imperial army, Li Zicheng made a decisive attack without flinching, and changed the habit of avoiding in the past. After several battles, the rebels won each victory, greatly replenished their equipment, and the strength of the rebels began to increase unprecedentedly.

In the following time, the rebels began to expand their ranks, which was also a natural thing. Many ordinary people in Sichuan are willing to join the ranks of the righteous army, and these people are hard-working and have a very good quality.

Li Zicheng is very happy to have such a situation, there has not been such a situation for several years. This shows that the rebel army began to expand its influence and began to gain a foothold in Sichuan, as long as there is enough time, the rebel army can restore the glory of Chongzhen's four or five years, and it is even stronger than that time.

However, in his heart, Li Zicheng was still afraid of the Jiangning battalion, and he thought to himself about the strength of the righteous army. It's not enough to confront the Jiangning battalion, so it is still necessary to avoid the Jiangning battalion.

The imperial court appointed Su Tian as the secretary of the military department and the imperial envoy of the right capital. The governor of the military affairs of the five provinces, responsible for exterminating the Liukou, Li Zicheng began to become anxious, and he understood what it meant for the Jiangning battalion to enter Sichuan. Because of this incident, there was a debate among the leaders of the rebel army, and some people believed that the rebel army must leave Sichuan, and if Henan and Shaanxi could not go. Then go to Shanxi, or go to Beizhili, and be forced to enter the situation of Duogandusi as a last resort, avoiding the Jiangning camp.

After careful consideration, Li Zicheng denied the idea of leaving Sichuan.

After years of fighting, with the painful lesson of fighting with the Jiangning battalion, Li Zicheng began to attach great importance to intelligence work, and after the Jiangning battalion entered Sichuan, Li Zicheng sent a large number of personnel to begin to collect all the information about the Jiangning battalion.

If the rebel army came to Sichuan because of the Jiangning battalion, it would all be evacuated, and there would be no way out, and it was possible that in the process of evacuation, it would be encircled and suppressed by the Jiangning battalion, and it was even possible that the whole army would be annihilated.

The terrain of Kuizhou and other places is special, this is the biggest advantage of the righteous army, if the Jiangning battalion comes to encircle and suppress, the army can be broken into pieces and enter the deep mountains, which can preserve the strength and increase the difficulty of the Jiangning battalion to encircle and suppress.

After Li Zicheng made a decision, everyone obeyed, and the rebels would not leave Sichuan.

The progress made in the intelligence work was beyond Li Zicheng's expectations, the Jiangning battalion did not move, and it was still in Chongqing, which made Li Zicheng even more worried, and he also paid attention to it all the time, Li Zicheng knew the news of the large-scale attack of the white pole soldiers very early, and he made a decision almost at the first time, this time, we must strike hard at the white pole soldiers, if the white pole soldiers can be annihilated, it will be a huge blow to Su Tiancheng, and it can also eliminate the fear of the righteous army against the Jiangning battalion to a certain extent.

Everything was laid out according to this plan.

Li Zicheng personally rushed from Long'an Mansion to Kuizhou Mansion, and after on-the-spot investigation, he selected this village and town outside Dazhou City as the location of the decisive battle.

The rebel army has gathered 100,000 soldiers, which has an absolute advantage, and Li Zicheng still has a secret weapon in his hand, which is enough to deal a fatal blow to the white pole soldiers.

Luo Rucai looked at Li Zicheng, who was still pondering, and spoke.

"King Chuang, all the arrangements and arrangements, there is no problem, according to our deployment, the vanguard troops have entered Dazhou, which is not very far from here, according to their speed, that is, within two days, they can come here, this time, the righteous army will definitely be able to achieve an unprecedented victory."

"Brother Luo, I have long considered that the vanguard of the white pole soldiers is only 5,000 people, Ma Xianglin is brave and good at fighting, if we can capture it alive, it will be the biggest victory, the vanguard is attacked, Qin Liangyu will definitely lead all the sergeants to rescue, in this process, do we need to intercept along the road."

"I don't think it's necessary, let Qin Liangyu bring all the white pole soldiers here, within a radius of more than ten miles, we are all on guard, it is impossible for the white pole soldiers to have the strength to reinforce them, and the righteous army has enough time."

"The strength of the white pole soldiers still can't be underestimated, this time they are pouring out of the nest, more than 26,000 people, it will take a certain amount of time to swallow so many people in one go, the Jiangning battalion has always been elusive, if in this process, the Jiangning battalion suddenly appears, it will be troublesome."

Luo Rucai smiled, his status has changed, as the deputy commander of the Righteous Army, but his mood is different from before, he willingly assisted Li Zicheng, made suggestions for the Righteous Army's conquest, and achieved a lot of victories.

"No, we don't have to be soldiers, the Jiangning battalion is far away in Chongqing, even if it comes to help, according to the terrain here, it will take at least ten days or so, which is enough for us to eliminate the white pole soldiers, besides, the Jiangning battalion is not familiar with the terrain here, they will not rashly launch an attack."

"Why do you have such confidence?"

"The white pole soldiers are Tusi troops, and they were originally looked down upon by the imperial army, this time the white pole soldiers launched an attack, which must have disrupted Su Tiancheng's deployment, after encountering danger, Su Tiancheng may not be able to rescue, besides, if the white pole soldiers are not rescued, I think the imperial court will not blame, but will reprimand Qin Liangyu."

Li Zicheng nodded, much more relieved.

The well-planned effect has come out, and the small group of rebels who were sent out really fooled the white pole soldiers.

Li Zicheng realized that the white pole soldiers were the great enemy of the righteous army, and they must find a way to weaken the strength of the white pole soldiers, or find an opportunity to completely exterminate the white pole soldiers, the guards in Sichuan, he was not worried at all, there was no combat effectiveness, and the guards were also unintentionally in war, and in the case of poverty, who still had the heart to fight, but the situation of the white pole soldiers was different, the army of Tusi, the supply was guaranteed, Moreover, Qin Liangyu is very strict in governing the army, and the treatment is completely in place.

Slowly, after a few fights, Li Zicheng also found the weakness of the white pole soldiers, compared with the Jiangning battalion, there is a big gap in the overall strength of the white pole soldiers, and the cultural level of the sergeants is generally not high, even compared to the righteous army, most of the white pole soldiers are ethnic minorities, and the impression of the Han people is not very good, which also leads to the white pole soldiers not getting much help, and the relationship with the surrounding guard army is not very good.

Not only that, but the relationship between the white pole soldiers and even the common people in other parts of Sichuan is also average, and they have a bit of a self-contained taste, in this regard, the Jiangning battalion is too powerful.

The Jiangning battalion entered Sichuan, if it got the full help of the white pole soldiers, the rebels would not have much way out, Su Tiancheng's calm and wise, Li Zicheng knew the way, Zijin Liang, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Gao Yingxiang, these leaders of the rebel army, all of them were defeated in the hands of Su Tiancheng, and it was almost impossible to use any tricks against Su Tiancheng, or let Su Tiancheng be fooled.

Of course, there is another situation, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai have carefully discussed, this is a bold and crazy idea, that is, to target the crown prince Zhu Cihong who accompanied the army.

If there is any accident in Zhu Cihong, Su Tiancheng will die and there will be no place to be buried, and the Jiangning camp will also collapse.

This plan is too crazy and has almost no possibility of realization, but if he is cornered, Li Zicheng will still take the risk and try, and there is no way to survive anyway.

A rush of footsteps disrupted Li Zicheng's thoughts.

A scout hurried over to report it.

"Report, the vanguard of the white pole soldiers led by Ma Xianglin is still one hundred and fifty miles away from here."

"I know the truth, continue to investigate, and report the situation at any time."

One hundred and fifty miles, according to the speed of the white pole soldiers, at most two days, these white pole soldiers, accustomed to mountain combat, are very familiar with the path in Sichuan, and with the leadership of the righteous army, maybe the speed will be faster, it seems that all the planning has succeeded step by step.

Li Zicheng quickened his pace and walked into the house again, and the people who followed also entered the house.

Half an hour later, a mysterious guest entered the village and town, and not long after, Li Zicheng and the mysterious guest left the village and town together and went to check nearby. (To be continued......)
