Zuo Liangyu and Wang Pu smiled, and praised Wu Dudu's brilliant plan!

Wu Sangui glanced at Zuo Liangyu and said lightly: "General Zuo's soldiers have always been brave, and they are most suitable for pretending to be thieves. Well, the governor of Pontus first sent 2,000 soldiers to Luoyang to assist in defending the city, and when the time comes, we should cooperate with the outside world, and it will be easy to take Luoyang! ”

"Wu Dudu is wise!"

Wang Pu and Zuo Liangyu looked excited, and they almost flowed out, as if they saw the countless gold and silver treasures in King Fu's mansion beckoning to them.

……

There is an old saying in this world, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. And the more terrible thing than the "thief's concern" is that the two thieves are worried about it-

Unfortunately, this is the case with the Fu King of Luoyang.

As the saying goes, "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", when the Central Plains was rotten and all the armies of all forces could not get food and wages, in addition to Wu Sangui and Wu Gonggong, who set their sights on the "lovely" Fu Wang, there was also a person who had already coveted his gold and silver treasures.

This person is Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.

Yes, he finally called himself "King Chuang" now, because his maternal uncle's predecessor "King Chuang" Gao Yingxiang died very undignified on a woman's belly, and it is estimated that it is a disease like "immediate stroke", right?

Originally, in history, Gao Yingxiang was captured by the official army and taken prisoner to Beijing to be executed by Emperor Chongzhen Ling Chi - in this life, he was not caught by the official army, but he was unexpectedly so hiccup......

Li Zicheng naturally would not say that Gao Yingxiang died on the belly of his concubine, and fabricated a battle with an unknown official army, saying that Gao Yingxiang died honorably...... He Li became his uncle to avenge himself. Killed all the officers and soldiers. Therefore, the rest of Gao Yingxiang's department was naturally "laughed at" by the new king Li Zicheng.

The army of displaced people didn't want to care whether the surname was Li or Gao. Anyway, there is meat to eat and wine to drink. There are landlords and old money robbers, and they can catch women and whatever.

This happened two months ago, and by the end of the year, Li Zicheng's army had grown stronger and stronger, as if it had become the largest part of the peasant rebel army.

The New Year was approaching, and King Chuang's army had still found food - so Li Zicheng was also red-eyed, and marched to Henan with 300,000 people who didn't know whether to call the army or the peasants.

Before setting off from Shaanxi to Henan, the 20,000 old battalion bandits lined up in a spectacular procession. Facing the heavy snow, he accepted the point school of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. The strong wind blew the flag like a tiger roaring, and for a moment the atmosphere of slaughter between heaven and earth became heavier.

Just after the Laba Festival, the mighty army approached Henan. This was the most well-planned, the most targeted, and the most meticulous command and organizational structure of the large army that broke into the camp, and it was also the first armed operation that was coordinated by propaganda. And all this planning is based on the wisdom of Li Zicheng's subordinates to plot against Li Yan.

Li Yan is not as miraculous as he is in history, but he is also a rare general in the peasant army, and he has some insight. After some careful consideration, he proposed to Li Zicheng a plan to attack Luoyang.

He said to Li Zicheng: "Luoyang is the ancient capital. It used to be a battleground for soldiers, but now it is the best target for us to break into the camp - and, in my opinion, it will take it without much effort! ”

Hearing this. Li Zicheng couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Luoyang has sealed a blessed king, that is a very popular prince, and his power is quite large!" ”

Li Yan laughed and said, "It's because of the title of King Fu." I will definitely take it for us! ”

As he spoke, he sighed, and his expression darkened. Only the silence and solemnity in the eyes remained on his face. After a long while, Li Yan said to Li Zicheng slowly: "My subordinates are from Henan. He is no stranger to his hometown. My father was an official in the court, and he knew a lot about the big and small things in the court, and he also talked about some things to his subordinates. Coupled with the other things that have been seen and heard over the years, the subordinates dare to assert that now that the Ming Dynasty has come to this step, this blessed king in Henan will have to account for a lot of cause and effect! ”

Li Zicheng's background is different from his, and he doesn't know much about many things in the court and politics. When he heard Li Yan say this, of course he was very curious, and immediately asked, "Will there be such a thing?" Tell me about it! ”

So, Li Yan carefully started from the beginning for Li Zicheng, explained in detail the disputes between the monarchs and ministers of the Wanli Dynasty who "fought for the country", and then went on to talk about the three major cases of "Attack", "Red Pill", and "Moving the Palace", so that he talked about it for a whole hour. Although Li Yan spoke dryly, Li Zicheng and the generals around him, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and others were all fascinated by it. For them, these things that happened in the court were not only the first time they had heard of them, but they were far more tortuous and bizarre than other rumors and stories, and even much more exciting.

While everyone forgot about themselves, Li Yan began to sell his own views: "After King Fu came to Henan to become a vassal, it was the beginning of another disaster for the country and the people. Originally, Emperor Wanli favored him, and when he was a vassal, he wanted to give him 40,000 hectares of farmland, but later the minister struggled to change it to 20,000 hectares. ”

After a pause, Li Yan continued: "King Fu's personality is very similar to that of Emperor Wanli, greedy for money and goods, and likes to accumulate private property, where can 20,000 hectares of land satisfy his insatiable heart?" After he became a vassal king, he took advantage of his privileges as a vassal king and began to plunder a large amount of private land to enrich his private property. The court turned a blind eye to this, how could the local officials dare to provoke him? The people of Henan do not hate the Fu King to the bone, and the King is determined to relieve the people from hanging, how can the people not celebrate with their hands and eat pot pulp to welcome the king? ”

Li Yan said that the plundering of King Fu's gold and silver mountains was "serving the people", and this side was in the name of righteousness. The more Li Zicheng listened, the happier he became, how had he ever encountered such a good thing before?

Li Zicheng didn't understand what "eating pot pulp to welcome the king's teacher", but he understood the sentence that the common people hated King Fu to the bone. This Nima has great incitement power, I'm afraid that as soon as I go to Luoyang, I can gather hundreds of thousands of "army"?

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng grinned excitedly and said to Li Yan: "The matter of beating Luoyang...... You can just do it! ”

In this way, before Wu Sangui and Wu Gonggong acted, the army of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, actually took the lead!

King Chuang's army quickly conquered their first target of Henan, Yanshi, which only took half a day. And the magistrate of the Yanshi was killed, and the gold and silver treasures naturally belonged to the generals. This is not the end, so the gentry and the Yin Shi people were all looted, called "robbing the rich and helping the poor...... (To be continued.) )
