Li Zicheng was very happy: ...... If a gentleman comes out, he will be able to succeed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf there are soldiers who are willing to sacrifice the city, then break Luoyang" can greatly reduce the damage of our righteous soldiers. The gentleman should also make the first contribution......"

Niu Jinxing gave Li Zicheng a deep salute: "To serve the king, it is incumbent on the students to ......"

He said: "As long as the king is willing to respect the teachings of the saints, reduce the punishment and killing, help the hungry, and collect the hearts of the people, the great cause will be ......."

Li Zicheng stood up and returned the salute solemnly: "Li has been taught......"

Since he was attached to Li Zicheng, he felt the knowledge of Niu Jinxing, and Li Zicheng called him Mr. and treated him as a guest teacher. Niu Jinxing also often told Li Zicheng some articles on scriptures and history, his intention was nothing more than to hope that Li Zicheng could achieve great things, then he would also become a strategist and virtuous minister like the previous dynasties, and leave a name in history.

Now (~~~/text is updated rapidly~~~) The number of literati attached to Li Zicheng is gradually increasing, so Niu Jinxing attaches great importance to this chief position. Among the people, "Li Yan is the one he is more afraid of, so although Li Yan is also from a good background and has good learning, Niu Jinxing never suggested to Li Zicheng and asked him to talk about history.

The two exchanged courtesies, and after sitting down happily, Li Zicheng groaned and said: "Volunteers and righteous people, I can make my army spend a lot less effort, but I can't put all my hopes on it, I still have to make plans to attack the city......"

He asked Yuan Zongdi: "Brother Yuan, how are you preparing for the attack on Luoyang City......

Yuan Zongdi said: "King Chuang, the brothers of each battalion have been slowly adjusted, and the topography of Luoyang City has gradually become clear. To the east of Luoyang City, Longshui and the moat are very wide, which is not easy to attack. The moat in the west of the city is also wide, making it difficult to build bridges. The terrain in the south of the city is very low, and the walls are very high, which is not conducive to attacking. "Only the northern part of the city is lower, which is more convenient for siege. I and the brothers of each battalion will attack the north of the city, mobilize a lot of artillery to bombard the north wall of the city, and then erect dozens of wooden bridges over the north moat, which should be able to break through the ......"

Li Zicheng said: "Attacking the city is the worst plan, but you have to be prepared. Luoyang must be captured, it is the emperor's pro-vassal land" really defeated, not only can a large amount of money and property be seized, enhance the strength of our righteous army, but more importantly, the court will be shaken, improve our confidence in victory, and attract heroes from all over the world to follow. All the generals in the hall got up and said in unison: "King Chuang is ...... wise."

They all know that there must be a lot of benefits to laying Luoyang," but Li Zicheng said it so clearly, and it went to their hearts.

Indeed, the most important thing in laying down Luoyang is the far-reaching impact on politics. Historically, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong linked Keluoyang and Xiangyang, representing the transfer of the balance of power and the operational initiative of the two sides to the peasant army. It also makes more people in the world see the weakness in the Ming Dynasty, "those who descend after this, and those who take refuge are endless."

Everyone praised in unison, and even a few literati cast appreciative glances at him, which made Li Zicheng very satisfied, his fingers tapped on the desk, and said: "Even if there is Wang Dou, Luoyang City will definitely be defeated, but what should be the next step in defeating Luoyang City?" Li Yan got up and said: "King Chuang, Luoyang is in Henan, Luocheng does not defend Henan, Henan does not protect the Central Plains, and if the Central Plains is not protected, Hebei's throat will be broken." So the students again proposed, "According to Heluo, fight for the world." Gaozu of the former Han Dynasty once controlled the world according to Guanzhong, "Ming Taizu also has a strategy of building high walls and accumulating grain, and we and other righteous troops should also find a fundamental place." Attacking and retreating is the way to the great cause, and it is better than wandering around like this. Heluo "is exactly where such a great cause lies......

Li Zicheng said: "What Mr. said, I also understand that soldiers can't keep walking around. But now Henan Mansion is dilapidated, there is no one in ten, all kinds of disasters continue, drought and locust plagues, I don't know when it will be the head. This is to stabilize the people's livelihood and restore agricultural miscellaneous products, I am afraid that it will be many years later, and one Henan mansion will not be able to support our hundreds of thousands of soldiers. He said: "The most important thing is that our righteous army is still weaker, and the officers and soldiers are still strong, if they surround it, this Heluo will become a place of death." So we have to fight on foot now, and later go to the richer Kaifeng Mansion, Runing Mansion, and even Huguang to avoid the strong and the weak.

When the situation is better after a few more big battles like Luoyang, we can find a more prosperous place to settle down, reward farming, and straighten out the place, which is the way to ...... great cause."

Liu Zongmin laughed and said: "Mr. Liu's knowledge is admired by Lao Liu" But when it comes to fighting, you are not as good as us. This battle must be fought alive, not killed, the enemy is strong, we go, the enemy is weak, we fight, "the enemy retreats, we chase." We must fight on foot, not on our own." You must know that we have little capital, and if there is an accident, it will all be gone. And because we were walking and fighting, we got up again and again, and the officers and soldiers couldn't destroy our ......."

The generals of the army laughed, and even called the chief whistle Liu Ye said it beautifully, it was funny, they were righteous soldiers, and that was to be the case.

Li Zicheng also smiled and nodded.

Everyone is like this, Li Yan had to stop persuading, he sighed in his heart, in fact, the various problems that King Chuang said are not impossible to solve. It's just that at present, he has no intention of finding a foothold, and the rest of the generals still can't change their minds, and it is so difficult to persuade them to settle down.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance next to him wanted to talk, but finally did not speak.

Seeing that Li Yan was no longer persuasive, Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, when it came to running a place, he was more interested in Shaanxi. It's not as dilapidated as Henan, and it's my hometown. Most of the generals in his army are from Shaanxi, and when they return to their hometowns, they are naturally infinitely beautiful, and they operate a lot in Henan.

He seemed to close his eyes to Song Xiance, who was trying to maintain the skeleton of the Immortal Wind Dao, and said: ", As for the attack on Luoyang, "And how to deal with Wang Dou, the military advisor might as well talk about your high opinion......"

Song Xiance opened his eyes when he heard this, his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he didn't stand up, he arched his hand on the throne, and said: "There is no lack of insight among you here, and the students also have a plan, which will definitely make the Luoyang officers and soldiers exhausted, so that our righteous army can calmly break the ...... one by one."

His voice was quite hoarse, "as if squeezed out of the bellows" Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, he raised his hand proudly: "It is the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao......"

His pair of squinting eyes flashed with a cold light: "General Yuan once said that most of the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion have gone to Luoyang to rescue. In this way, Kaifeng Mansion is empty of troops, which is just an opportunity for my righteous army to take advantage of. If our army feints to attack Kaifeng, the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion in Luoyang will have to send a reinforcement ......"

He said: "Kaifeng to Luoyang four hundred miles, my righteous army also has an opportunity!" On this 400-mile journey, the mountains on both sides are undulating, and there is a great place for ambushes. Wang Dou must only be in Luoyang, and there is no doubt that the rescue must be another department, and our righteous army can't ambush Wang Dou's military horses, nor can they ambush the officers and soldiers who come back......"

He smiled hehehe: "Perhaps" because of this, Kaifeng Mansion is not better than Luoyang, the provincial capital is located, there are more household registrations, more wealth, several times richer than Luoyang, if the next Kai holds ........."

Everyone's eyes lit up in the hall," Li Zicheng also showed a look of attention.

Look at everyone's expressions" Song Xiance was satisfied, and he continued: "If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't do it, you can't open it, and Luoyang City will also reduce its defensive forces, making it ......easier for our righteous army to attack the city."

He said: "Not only that", our righteous army can also feint to attack Ruzhou", according to General Liu's words, "He has attacked Ruzhou for many days, and the state city is already the end of the crossbow, because of Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu's reinforcements and the siege was lifted." Now that both of them are in Luoyang, our righteous army can send a large army to continue the siege, if Luoyang rescues, and reduce their troops, if not, they can take advantage of the situation to go down to the city of Ruzhou. "Ruzhou is rich, and the city is nine miles around" is the same size as Luoyang City, if it can be taken, it will definitely greatly increase the strength of our righteous army......"

Everyone in the hall was excited, whispering, Li Zicheng also stroked his palms and smiled: "Wonderful" wonderful, the military advisor is really extraordinary, worthy of being the brains of my righteous army......"

He said with some urgency: "Military advisor, let's take a small hexagram, let's see if this attack on Luoyang is fierce or auspicious......

Song Zace arched his hand and said, "The student is ordered." ”

In general, there are four methods of divination, the method of keeping the book, the method of simplifying the practice, the method of money hexagram, and the method of Tai Chi pills. A few stems of bamboo swayed dexterously in his hands, making a pleasant sound of collision from time to time.

Everyone in the hall stretched their necks to look at this side, and many generals looked at Song Xiance with awe in their eyes.

Only Li Yan sat with a smile, looking disapproving. He is an orthodox Confucian disciple, the son is silent and strange to the gods, although the divination is also broad and profound, and there is a deep support for the I Ching, but the military affairs are put on a mere hexagram, but it is hasty.

After a few bursts of bamboo sounds, Song Xiance stopped his movements, stroked his few sparse beards and groaned.

Li Zicheng couldn't wait to say: "What kind of military advisor, is it fierce or auspicious......

Song Xiance opened his mouth to speak, and his voice was loud and small, fluctuating: "Bi, Ji." Original stem, Yuan Yongzhen, blameless ........."

While the generals in the hall listened to the incomprehension, their eyes widened: "What do you mean......"

Song Xiance was silent, and after Li Zicheng also asked for advice, he smiled and said: "Hexagram is the cloud, this is the hexagram, congratulations to King Chuang, ......",

Li Zi smiled when he was established, and the generals in the hall also smiled, "I want the military advisor to explain."

When everyone was in a hurry, Song Xiance shook his head and said: "Compare, people stand side by side, and it is said that they are closer, for blind dates." Yuan, the beginning of things is Yuan, for the long, for the creation also. Yuan Yongzhen is not to blame, and he is ...... for the greatness without negligence."

"Although this hexagram indicates a slight danger, but it lives on the ground, and people know how to avoid it when they see it, and they can turn the danger into a disaster, and pass through the danger, from the elephant, this is the upper hexagram." , Li Zicheng laughed, his heart was more determined, but Li Shuangxi, who was the next head, still had a childlike heart, he said: "Military advisor, let's do it again, it's safer." ”

The generals next to him hurriedly said: "No, it's okay to have a hexagram, it's much smaller, and it won't work......"

Li Zicheng also glanced at Li Shuangxi unhappily.

Li Shuangxi and Li Guo are both close nephews of Li Zicheng, and Song Xiance specially explained for him: "Meng, Heng." I begged Dong Meng, and Tong Meng begged me. The first sign of the notice "repeatedly blasphemed, blasphemy is not sought, and Li Zhen is also." Divination must not be indefinite, no intention to get true, if it is repeatedly reoccupied, the heart is confused and the hexagram is chaotic, this is a taboo ......"

Li Shuangxi was startled, and hurriedly folded his hands: "There are no taboos, no taboos." Li Zicheng stood up and said, "Okay, everyone is tired of discussing things, and it's afternoon, let's let the room have dinner......

Soon the food came up, "but it was mostly some coarse food and the like, Li Zicheng ate very sweetly, he was more diligent and simple on weekdays, not good at wine, drinking and eating, all of them were the same as ordinary soldiers. Among the generals of the peasant army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were in stark contrast to Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others.
