232 Defection

Yanggu County, which looks like a wide county, a group of generals of the Dashun Army, bowed their heads and remained silent, when they were forced by Li Zicheng to leave Luozaopo, they went all the way west, and arrived in Yanggu County to settle down temporarily, although when they left at that time, they had already prepared in their hearts, but when the news of Li Zicheng's death really came, everyone was completely blinded in an instant.

The people here have followed Li Zicheng all the way to the north and south, from Li Zicheng to kill officials and rebel to Gao Yingxiang to attack Beijing City, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, how many times have the army been defeated, and even almost died several times, but every time they can successfully turn the danger into a disaster, and even stronger than one together, in this way, they have developed these people's blind worship of Li Zicheng, which is also why Li Zicheng is full of words in the Dashun army, and even made many mistakes, and no one dares to know the reason for the opposite.

And this time is the same, after fighting all the way from Anyang County to Jinan City, these people thought that the time had come for Li Zicheng and the Dashun Army to rise again, but they didn't expect that in the end, it was such an ending, an ending that everyone regretted.

"Everyone, we are all very sad about King Chuang's death, but we can't just be decadent, otherwise, King Chuang won't die in vain, so we still have to cheer up as soon as possible, accumulate strength, and strive to avenge King Chuang as soon as possible, and kill Wu Sangui and those dog tartars." Seeing the dull atmosphere in the room, Liu Zongmin couldn't help but speak.

Hearing Liu Zongmin's words, everyone didn't speak, but Tian Jianxiu on the side said in a trance, "Yes, yes, we can't sink like this, since King Chuang is dead, we are still alive." We absolutely must not let down his good intentions, and we must strengthen our strength as soon as possible and strive to avenge his hatred as soon as possible. ”

"General Kwon is right, but unfortunately, now, if we want to rise again. I'm afraid it's very difficult, except for the more than 10,000 brothers who escaped with us, we have no other troops, and now it's not so easy to recruit new soldiers, these years have been smooth, basically no major natural disasters, and now several major forces are also trying their best to appease the people under them, if there are no troops, we want to rise quickly. But it's not so easy, in my opinion, it's better to "Hearing everyone's words, Song Xiance on the side also spoke, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an irritable voice on the side.

"It's not as good as what, don't you see that my uncle is no longer there. I want to leave while I can, I'll tell you. My uncle is gone, and I Li Guo is here, as long as I am here, then I will not allow this Great Shun Army to disappear, whether it is a year or two years. Ten years or a hundred years, as long as I have Li Guo, I will definitely let the Dashun Army rise again. "The person who spoke was Li Guo, because he had many brothers, so he had always grown up with Li Zi. For Li Guo, Li Zicheng is the closest person to him in this world, but now Li Zicheng is dead, and he can't end it in a short time.

As soon as Li Guo's words were finished, he suddenly heard Liu Zongmin, who originally looked depressed and looked extremely weak, roared loudly, "Bastard, shut up for me, King Chuang is dead, we are all very sad, but what kind of place is this, what are these people, these are all good brothers who follow King Chuang, it's not your turn to shout here, just listen to me well, and then dare to roar, military law will serve." ”

According to Li Zicheng's original plan, Li Guo is basically his successor, so, at this party, Li Guo was elected by everyone to sit in the first place, which is equivalent to everyone accepting him in disguise to become the commander of the Dashun Army, it stands to reason that Li Guo should be the most powerful here, but unfortunately for Liu Zongmin, Li Guo is just one of his juniors, from the time when he was in Mizhi, Liu Zongmin followed Li Zicheng all day long, at that time, Li Guo was just a little kid for him, Although he is now nominally his boss, he still has a certain right to yell at him, which is why many emperors in history will be so respectful in the face of the so-called elders of several dynasties, not only because they are capable, but more importantly, they have seniority, and in China, a place where filial piety is as big as the sky, seniority is the biggest advantage.

Hearing Liu Zongmin's roar, although Li Guo was not angry, he didn't dare to really speak, he knew that Liu Zongmin could do what he said, which was also the reason why he was beaten a lot when he was a child.

Seeing that Li Guo was no longer silent, Liu Zongmin said to Song Xiance on the side, "The military advisor continues, now that we are all like this, if there is any good way, please say it directly, let's discuss it together, as long as we can continue the Dashun army, whatever is it." ”

With Liu Zongmin's support, Song Xiance thought for a while, and then said, "Guo Gongzi, General Quan, brothers, you should all hear what you said just now, I feel that if we go on like this, let alone grow and develop, and avenge King Chuang, even if we can keep the banner of Dashun, I'm afraid it's the same thing, you know, although we failed, we still have the strength to fight, therefore, we are entrenched in the land of Henan, whether it is the Manchu court or the Hongguang court in Shaanxi, we dare not do anything to us at will, Treat us as a buffer in the middle.

But this time, we are defeated, then the land of Henan that we now control will become a delicacy in the eyes of others, so, if we don't expect it, I'm afraid that someone will do something to us, and when the time comes, do you think that with our people we can resist those attacks? ”

Song Xiance's words, after everyone listened to it, all their faces leaked a look of consternation, they were all sad because of Li Zicheng's death in battle, but they didn't expect so much at all, and now after Song Xiance said it, they knew that they had reached the juncture of this crisis.

"Strategist, please continue to talk about what we should do, is there no solution, we only have a dead end, if this is the case, what are we going to do when we escape, it is better to die with King Chuang than now!" Hearing Song Xiance's words, Liu Zongmin, who was still a little sad, suddenly sighed and said.

Hearing Liu Zongmin's question, Song Xiance continued, "General Quan, there is only one way to plan for the future, that is, before the heavy land of Henan has been swallowed by others, it will be used as a gift and offered to others. ”

"To whom," one general asked.

"Although there are many wars today, it can be said that those small forces are no longer to worry about, and there are only three forces that can really influence the general trend of the world, one of which is the Manchu court that occupies Gyeonggi, Beizhili, Shandong and other places and also has the land of Liaodong as a backer, and it is also the most powerful one in the world.

Second, it occupies Shaanxi, Shanxi a part of the Hongguang court, although they are small, the power is also a little insufficient, but it is the greatest potential one, not to mention anything else, just say the current Hongguang Emperor, he is the crown prince of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the heir of the Ming Dynasty, and now, the entire Jiangnan knows that in addition to Sichuan, the remaining provinces are still nominally under the control of the Ming court, in addition, the most important person is the actual controller of Shaanxi, Shi Lei, I believe that everyone will be familiar with this person, who can rise rapidly in less than a year, which shows the strength of his ability and the prosperity of his luck.

In the end, it is Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of the Daxi regime who monopolized Sichuan, but unfortunately, since Zhang Xianzhong's defeat in Hanzhong, his strength has been greatly damaged, and he can no longer control the land of Sichuan, and now he is just a little better than us. In the middle of a few words, Song Xiance said the basic general trend in the world, of course, he would not know about Li Yan sneaking into Henan with his troops.

After listening to Song Xiance's words, the big tent suddenly fell silent again, the amount of information was too great, they couldn't accept it for a while, no wonder, not long ago they were still self-respecting, and others still tried their best to take refuge in them, but now, there has been a big change, but they are going to take refuge in others, and it is estimated that no one will accept it.

"No matter who you vote for, you will never be able to take refuge in the dog Tartars, even if we all die in battle, we must fight to the death with the dog Tartars, regardless of their hatred of killing King Chuang, just because they are Tartars, we must not be like the dog thief of Niu Venus, do things that sell our ancestors for glory, otherwise, even if we die, we will have no shame to see our parents and ancestors." The first to express his stance was Tian Jianxiu, who had lived in the border since he was a child, and had seen the situation after those grassland people came to the pass to fight the grass valley countless times, which also developed his hatred of Tartar since he was a child.

"Yes, as Han Chinese, we can't do anything like selling our ancestors even if we are broken to pieces, so forget about the Tartars, then there are only two goals left, Li Guo, who do you think we should take refuge into." Hearing Tian Jianxiu's words, Liu Zongmin said, and then put the final decision in the hands of Li Guo, although Li Guo is his junior, but he is now the supreme commander of the Dashun Army after all.

Hearing Liu Zongmin's question, Li Guo was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the house for a long time with uncertain eyes, and finally said, "Although Zhang Xianzhong is a fellow villager with us, we have some contradictions from the beginning, besides, his current situation is not much better, maybe one day he will be swallowed up, so if we take refuge in him, it will also be a point of no return, besides, my uncle has already chosen a place for us, since he said that Shi Lei will take care of us, Then let's listen to my uncle. ”
