489, Li Yangongzi's strategy
Xu Renjie suddenly brought a few henchmen and brothers from the edge of Tiankan to find him, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Li Zicheng's troops attacked the Chengdu Plain, and originally wanted to break through Chengdu, but seeing that Chengdu City has thick walls and is well guarded, he didn't dare to start a battle lightly, so he went around the north of the city and conquered Deyang...... Yang Sichang kept chasing behind his ass in circles, and the two armies chased and fled, seeing that they were about to approach Guangyuan again. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, and couldn't help crying and laughing, a few guys in the 36th battalion are really not angry, today Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were chased by the officers and soldiers and fled to their own territory, and tomorrow Li Zicheng was chased and fled to his own territory.
He is not a person who likes to fight on his own territory, and if he lets the officers and soldiers or Li Zicheng step into his own territory, it is inevitable that he will trample on some crops, kill some innocent people, and keep the enemy out of the country. So Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to sit down, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers, preparing to go out of the city to the south.
After more than half a year of operation and training in Guangyuan, the 25,000 Zhu soldiers in Sichuan are now more and more like mountain troops, the soldiers are lightly armed, carrying ropes and hooks that are conducive to climbing, and the black pole soldiers are the vanguard, heading in the direction of Deyang.
Soon, there is a strange mountain in front of you, this mountain is formed by a whole big stone, it is not high, it is only a hundred zhang of appearance, it is rare that there is no grass on the mountain, not an inch of wood grows, only the skin of the stone is covered with a thick layer of moss, because of the effect of this layer of moss. Makes the whole mountain look like a green agate...... Hence the name of the mountain, which is called Mount Agate.
There is already an army stationed on the mountain, look at the banner in the army, and write a few big characters on it, it turns out that Zhang Xianzhong is entrenched here. Speaking of Zhang Xianzhong, there is also enough tragedy, this bear child failed to threaten Zhu Yuanzhang in Bazhou, and was sent away by Luo Rucai with 100,000 taels of silver, so he moved south, but he didn't expect to go far to the south, and he found that several county towns in the south fell into the hands of Li Zicheng.
Although Li Zicheng did not regard these county towns as his own base to operate. But it attaches great importance to buying the hearts and minds of the people. Along the way, the children's rhyme of "Open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay for the food", Li Zicheng certainly could not destroy his image while bribing the hearts of the people, so he no longer burned, killed and looted. Indiscriminate killing of innocents. Instead, put on a picture of "I'm a good person". In the various counties, he publicized his image of greatness, brightness, and integrity.
In this case, Zhang Xianzhong's arrival was very unpopular with Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng immediately drove Zhang Xianzhong away like a fly, and Zhang Xianzhong played a trick on Li Zicheng for a while, blackmailed a little military rations from him, and then came to Agate Mountain, and stuck his butt here and didn't leave.
Agate Mountain is located in the middle of Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng's territory, regardless of the three areas, it is good for him to stay here, neither will be driven by Zhu Yuanzhang, nor will he be annoyed by Li Zicheng, but he is happy to be at ease, but the military food in the army is consumed very quickly, and it will not take long to entrench here, and then he will have to find a place to wander.
Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers crossed Agate Mountain, and when they saw that it was Zhang Xianzhong, they didn't bother to pay attention to him, but they couldn't just bypass it directly from the bottom of the mountain. When the time comes, what should Zhang Xianzhong do if he suddenly goes down the mountain and touches Guangyuan?
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to give an order to let the whole army be stationed in the north of Onyx Mountain to see what Zhang Xianzhong planned to do.
But I heard hundreds of thieves shouting in unison from the mountain: "Is it Baishui Zhu's eighth brother who is passing under the mountain?" Hey, hey, hey...... What are you doing when you're too idle to move the army around? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to pay attention to it, but Luo Rucai, who was traveling with him, sent hundreds of soldiers to shout at the top of the mountain: "Yang Sichang is chasing and killing Li Zicheng, we have to go and join in the fun, do you want the eight kings to come along?" At this time, Luo Rucai had not yet decided whether to hand over the army to Zhu Ba and become a free rich man himself, so the two armies were temporarily in a state of joint operation.
Hearing Luo Rucai's reply, Zhang Xianzhong on the mountain was so happy that he sent someone to call back: "Li Zicheng deserves to be beaten for that dog's day, hahaha, don't let Lao Tzu enter his territory, the dog's day was killed by officers and soldiers, and Lao Tzu will be happy." ”
Luo Rucai also had no choice but to take Zhang Xianzhong, sighed and shook his head. Everyone didn't know what to do next, Li Zicheng was blocked by Agate Mountain before he was gray, and the actions behind him could not continue at all. Zhu Yuanzhang was very impatient, and really wanted to order Zhang Xianzhong to be blown away from here.
But I heard Luo Rucai's subordinates shout to the mountain again: "Eight kings, I, Luo Rucai, have never provoked you, if the officers and soldiers beat me one day, you have to cover some brothers." ”
Zhang Xianzhongjun's reply came from the mountain, and he said very arrogantly: "Don't be wordy here, Lao Tzu doesn't like all of you, it's better for you to be all wiped out by the officers and soldiers, and Lao Tzu can live a good life alone." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "This outlaw." ”
At this time, another army came to the south of Agate Mountain, because the terrain of Sichuan is high in the north and low in the south, so the position of Zhu Jun and Luo Rucai's army is relatively high, and the army from the south is relatively low.
Zhu Jun had a good vision and saw the whole picture of this army at a glance. This is an extremely large number of troops, a large flag in the army is flying, and a row of big characters is written on it, "Generalissimo Fengtian advocates righteousness and civil and military affairs", which turned out to be the army of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. There were cavalry, infantry, gunmen, archers, heavy armor, light armor, and no armor...... The sky was full of people, and behind the soldiers, there were countless ordinary people, old and weak women, dragging children and daughters, and the entire army array was several miles wide and several miles long, at least no less than 100,000 people.
In fact, the old, weak, sick and disabled of the army should be gone, when he was outside Tongguan, he was handed over to Zhu Ba by Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, but I didn't expect that after a few years, Li Zicheng got so many old and weak with the army, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his mind and understood, this is because after he invented the children's rhyme of "not paying food", he won it for him, and followed his people desperately, looking at this momentum, it won't take long to be more.
Let him run like this for a few years, and it will not be a problem to pull up an army of millions of thieves.
Historically. Li Zicheng invented the children's rhyme of "no food" after receiving Li Yangongzi in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, he overthrew the Ming Dynasty with a million army, that is to say, his slogan only took four years to win a million army for him. At this time, the power of children's songs has been revealed, and the army of 100,000 is terrifying enough.
Li Zicheng came, the scene was even more ridiculous, there was an agate mountain in the middle, Zhang Xianzhong was stationed on the mountain, and Li Zicheng was in the south of the mountain. Shanbei Zhu Yuanzhang. The heroes and heroes of the world all gathered together at this time, staring at each other with big eyes.
The three armies looked at each other from a distance, and in order to avoid misunderstandings, they all ordered to hold their positions almost at the same time. A few miles away, they confronted each other. The opening of the tripartite military formation. All three leaders stepped out.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked out with a leader, and when he saw Li Zicheng on the opposite side also coming over with a leader, both sides had a kind smile on their faces. But there was a flash of sharpness in his eyes. And Zhang Xianzhong, who came down from the hillside, still looks like he is not afraid of the sky and the earth.
Li Zicheng was the first to speak: "Yo, isn't this the eighth brother of Baishui Zhu?" I heard that you are shaving food in Guangyuan and Bazhou, why did you suddenly start to go south? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the other party was pretending to be confused, but he didn't break it, but just said lightly: "I heard that there is a war in the south, I'll come over to block it, don't let cats, dogs or other messy things get into my territory." ”
Li Zicheng smiled hesitantly: "This cat and cat four words, does it mean me?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "How can that, of course I'm talking about Yang Sichang." ”
Li Zicheng secretly said in his heart: Am I a fool? I was obviously referring to me, but now I have changed my words to Yang Sichang.
Zhu Yuanzhang also secretly said in his heart: See if this guy will be angry, how is the measurement?
But seeing that Li Zicheng was not angry, he still had a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Yang Sichang, that guy is indeed a cat and a dog, and he doesn't have fart skills, so he knows that he is chasing after me, and it is annoying." ”
The two of them talked a few words, but Zhang Xianzhong next to him was impatient and hummed: "Don't talk nonsense either, let's talk about Lao Tzu." He snatched the conversation, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "You don't let Lao Tzu enter your territory!" Then he turned his head and pointed at Li Zicheng and said, "You don't let Lao Tzu enter your territory." ”
In the end, he pointed to his head and said, "Lao Tzu will not let you enter Lao Tzu's territory!" Guangyuan in the north is your Zhu Ba's, Lao Tzu recognizes it, and Deyang in the south belongs to you Li Zicheng, and Lao Tzu also recognizes it, but this agate mountain ...... Hmph, it's me Zhang Xianzhong, don't fight with Lao Tzu, go back to your own territory obediently. ”
This person is really crazy, and after finishing speaking, he offended Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng at the same time.
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly felt funny in his heart, and Li Zicheng also felt that this guy was good enough. The two simply ignored Zhang Xianzhong and continued to chat across Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Brother Chuangwang, how many officers and soldiers are chasing you in the south?" ”
Li Zicheng said with a smile: "It's not much, it's just forty or fifty thousand......"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Yo, it doesn't seem to be too little." Although he was smiling on his face, he secretly screamed in his heart that there were only 25,000 Zhu soldiers brought into Sichuan this time, because Shaanxi still had to leave a large number of soldiers to guard against Sun Chengzong of Shanxi and the officers and soldiers of Henan from attacking Shaanxi, and it was impossible for him to bring all the troops to Sichuan, so his strength was a little thin in front of Yang Sichang, and it was a little difficult to repel the officers and soldiers alone.
Li Zicheng smiled, he just reported the total strength of the officers and soldiers, just to scare Zhu Ba, but he didn't expect Zhu Ba to have a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all, which made Li Zicheng's words of lobbying prepared in advance inconvenient to say.
Originally, what he thought was that if Zhu Ba was scared of him, he would say, "Let's join forces to retreat from the enemy." But there was no reaction from the place, and it was inconvenient for him to turn his attention to it. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is not in the trap, he doesn't know what to say.
At this time, Li Zicheng suddenly walked out of a young man in Tsing Yi, this person is about twenty years old, wearing a Confucian robe, with an excellent temperament, gestures, politeness, and knowledge of books and etiquette at a glance, and he is a scholarly disciple. This person stepped forward, made a gesture at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said seriously: "Eighth Brother Zhu, although we can't say that we have a good friendship with your Zhu army, there is no festival, why don't we join forces and fight with the officers and soldiers to defeat them...... In this way, the eldest brother can keep Guangyuan and Bazhou. We can continue to return to the Chengdu Plain to live happily than being chased by officers and soldiers. If we don't work together, and the officers and soldiers continue to go north after defeating us, your Guangyuan and Bazhou will not be guaranteed, and if the officers and soldiers take advantage of the situation to go north from Sichuan and go straight to Hanzhong, Shaanxi will also be in danger. ”
The rhythm of this person's speech is not hurried, nor does he use his book bag to say some unintelligible words like other scholars speak, but simply and clearly express the meaning. It is easy to understand as soon as you hear it.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes couldn't help but stare at this person. The brow furrowed slightly, this person ...... He knows! In the previous life, when I was floating in the sky to watch the world, I saw this face several times, and this person was the famous Li Yan and Li Gongzi. The guy who made up that hated children's rhyme.
Mistakes. Li Yan and Li Gongzi, who came out of the mountain three years earlier. Now he is only in his early twenties, and although he is young, he can already see wisdom in his eyes. It is a table of talents, which makes people feel a sense of love for talent at a glance.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Li Yan's proposal was very good, but he was wrong in one sentence, the two armies did not have a festival before, but since Li Yan made up that children's song, the festival has already been ...... Not only was the spies sent by Li Zicheng into the territory of the Zhu army to spread children's songs killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, but also after the children's songs made up by Zhu Yuanzhang entered Li Zicheng's ears, Li Zicheng's heart was also vigilant.
Both of them already see each other as a big problem.
Although Zhang Xianzhong is murderous, in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is just a madman, and he is not much of a threat. But Li Zicheng's children's songs may shake the foundation of Zhu Jun's existence, that is, the mass foundation, so Zhu Yuanzhang has listed Li Zicheng as a must-kill target in his heart, where is there still no festival? It should be very festive.
Of course, these thoughts can only be swirled in the heart, not in the mouth. He was thinking about how to deal with it, but he heard Zhang Xianzhong next to him snort coldly and said: "Lao Tzu don't join forces with you to retreat any officers and soldiers, Lao Tzu and Zhu Ba and Luo Rucai outside Bazhou joined forces to fight, but Bazhou was occupied by Zhu Ba, and Lao Tzu didn't get a single hair, why should you bother with your affairs?" ”
Luo Rucai hurriedly said: "Hey, eight kings, how can you say it? Didn't you catch a hundred thousand taels? That's still my ......."
Zhang Xianzhong snorted and said: "I didn't take it from Zhu Ba, Lao Tzu is not happy in his heart after all, if you want Lao Tzu to join forces with you, mention it and don't mention it, and Lao Tzu will go." After finishing speaking, Zhang Xianzhong turned his head, went back to Agate Mountain by himself, and left Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng here.
Li Zicheng snorted: "This muddy man is finally gone." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang also sneered and didn't say anything.
Li Yan, who was standing in the field, rolled his eyes and chuckled: "Later Sheng originally had no strategy to deal with the officers and soldiers, but when he heard the words of the Eight Great Kings, he suddenly had a plan to use......
Li Zicheng was overjoyed and asked, "Oh? Will the plan be settled? He trusted his new military advisor very much, and knew that he had the talent in his heart, so he asked him for advice in everything, and he was really like a fish in water.
Li Yan was about to speak, but he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with his eyes, obviously not wanting outsiders to hear.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly: "Actually, I also have a plan, I don't know if it's the same as Li Gongzi's." ”
The two looked at each other a few times, and they both saw a hint of cunning in each other's eyes. Li Yan said: "In this case, we might as well write the strategy in the palm of our hands and unfold it at the same time to see if it is the same." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he also wanted to see this Li Yan's ability, although Li Yan's ability had been seen in his previous life when he was in the Wandering Soul Skyrim, but history has changed, and the current situation is far from the original history, for the same general, fighting two different battles in different places, it is very likely that one battle will be fought beautifully, and the other battle will be fought like shit, and a general who wins a hundred battles is not a cabbage that can be found everywhere.
At that moment, both of them wrote the strategy into the palm of their hand, counted "one, two, three", and opened their palms at the same time, everyone first looked at Li Yan's hand, only to see that there was a "citation" written in it, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, which was actually a "citation" word.
All the leaders, including Li Zicheng, were all at a loss. Liu Zongmin, the general under Li Zicheng, couldn't help but shout: "Military advisor, what are you writing this word for?" It seems to be the same word as the word in Brother Zhu's hand. It turned out that this product was illiterate, and he didn't know the word "citation" at all.
The second king of Baishui on this side also plucked his head and said, "I seem to have learned this word, but now I forgot it." ”
A group of people waited for the two to explain.
Zhu Yuanzhang used to be the king, and he had long lost the idea of competing for the limelight, so he smiled at Li Yan and said, "Let's talk about Li Junshi." ”
Li Yan nodded, he was still young, and he still belonged to the age group that pointed out the country and promoted words, seeing that everyone was concentrating on listening to him, he couldn't help but feel a little sense of accomplishment in his heart, so he said seriously: "This plan only needs to be ...... like this" His voice gradually deepened, only letting a few of the most important leaders around him hear.
Everyone was puzzled at first, but after hearing it, a smile slowly appeared on their faces. Liu Zongmin couldn't help but laugh and said, "So it can still be like this?" Li Junshi, you are so insidious, this time Zhang Xianzhong is going to leave without eating. ”
Wang Er on this side also smiled and said: "Zhang Xianzhong, that bastard, has long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, let him come out and carry a black pot, it is also right, hehehe......"
