Li Zicheng was forced to enter Sichuan at the end of March, and Zhang Xianzhong will make peace, in fact, this is not his original intention, originally thought that scattered activities in Nanyang, Henan Province, will make Zheng Jiajun at a loss, unexpectedly Zheng Xunrui changed his strategy, Zheng Jiajun into zero, its brave cavalry, became Li Zicheng's dream, several times he was almost targeted by Zheng Jiajun, if it was not for the fast escape, it is not clear what the situation is, under the persuasion of Gu Junen, Li Zicheng finally made up his mind to enter Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong will make peace.

However, when he entered Sichuan, Li Zicheng only had 3,000 elite cavalry left.

Fortunately, when he borrowed Huguang, he did not encounter the encirclement and suppression of the Tianxiong army, but Li Zicheng did not dare to have any stay, and went straight to the Kuizhou Mansion in Sichuan.

After entering Wanxian County, which is under the jurisdiction of Kuizhou Prefecture, Li Zicheng finally met Zhang Xianzhong.

The atmosphere of the meeting was still good, but from Zhang Xianzhong's face, Li Zicheng saw the lofty atmosphere, at this time, Li Zicheng could only swallow his anger, there were only more than 3,000 people left under his command, far from being able to compare with Zhang Xianzhong.

Between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the alliance at the beginning was still good, every time they discussed how to fight or where to move, Li Zicheng and Gu Junen would tell the truth and analyze the situation, because they knew that the Zheng family army was about to enter Sichuan, and they must unite closely to deal with the Zheng family army, and they also had to consider what direction to evacuate, in case the Zheng family army entered Sichuan in a big way. The rebels must leave Sichuan.

Li Zicheng's construction was headed towards Yunnan and Guizhou in the south, these places are also remote places, the combat effectiveness of the imperial court guard army is not strong, and these places are mostly Tusi, once the righteous army enters, they can make good use of the terrain. Defeat Tusi, get the supply of grain and grass, and Yunnan and Guizhou are not under the jurisdiction of Zheng Xunrui, the governor of the five provinces, which also indicates that Zheng Jiajun cannot enter Guizhou and Yunnan casually.

Zhang Xianzhong also agreed to this evacuation plan, but they still have to make a decision depending on the situation, after all, the terrain of Kuizhou is complicated, and Zheng Jiajun should not think about fully exerting it here.

The development of the situation was beyond the expectations of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun did enter Sichuan, but most of the time passed. Zheng Jiajun did not launch a fierce attack, and the situation was very calm.

Gu Junen's prediction was that the Zheng Jiajun had just arrived and needed to be familiar with the terrain, and would not launch a large-scale battle in a short period of time.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been united for about a month, and he has a clear grasp of it. The sergeants under Zhang Xianzhong's command are less than 30,000. Many people fled because the conditions were too difficult, and Zhang Xianzhong has always been worried about the matter of grain and grass, after all, the generation of Yunyang, Wanxian and Liangshan, the mountains are sparsely populated, and it is difficult to raise a large amount of grain and grass, especially after the Zheng Jiajun entered Sichuan. The vigilance in all directions became solid, and Zhang Xianzhong tried to open the gap several times, either to enter Chongqing Mansion or to enter Shunqing Mansion, but without success.

Zheng Jiajun did not take the initiative to attack. The rebels did not think of a large-scale breakthrough, and the situation became calm, and it was in this calm atmosphere that the contradictions between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong broke out.

Zhang Xianzhong has always wanted to become the leader of the righteous army, but this purpose has never been realized, at the time of the Xingyang Conference, Cao Cao Luo Ru was elected as the leader, after Luo Ru was killed, Li Zicheng was elected as the leader of the righteous army, to this day, the righteous army suffered a painful blow, only Li Zicheng, King Shuntian and he Zhang Xianzhong remained, at this time, Zhang Xianzhong believed that the conditions for himself to become the leader of the righteous army were ripe.

Li Zicheng entered Sichuan with three thousand righteous soldiers, and when he came to meet him, Zhang Xianzhong had already expressed the attitude of coming out to annex Li Zicheng, but at that time there was a strong enemy outside, and he didn't dare to do it lightly, and now that he is stable, Zhang Xianzhong's ambition is exposed, he wants to become the real leader of the righteous army, that is to say, there can only be one righteous army, only one leader, and the rest need to be absolutely obedient.

If you want to achieve this goal, you must recover Li Zicheng, but unfortunately to achieve this goal, it is like ascending to the sky.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong knows Li Zicheng, and he also knows how powerful Li Zicheng is, don't look at the only 3,000 volunteer soldiers led by Li Zicheng, but these 3,000 people are unusually brave, and after coming to Sichuan, Li Zicheng is almost always with these 3,000 people, Zhang Xianzhong is just thinking about doing it, and he is also looking for opportunities.

Once the ambition is exposed, it can't be contained, Zhang Xianzhong is a rough person, he doesn't know how to hide it, many times when he meets Li Zicheng, although he has a smile on his face, his disdainful demeanor can't be completely concealed, and occasionally he will show a fierce demeanor, how can Li Zicheng not know this.

The atmosphere inside the rebels became very delicate.

Li Zicheng has Gu Junen under his command, who is the first strategist of the righteous army.

Zhang Xianzhong has four righteous sons, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, although these four people are not very old, they can fight extremely bravely, they can be described as brave and strategic, and loyal to Zhang Xianzhong.

In terms of the comparison of troops, Zhang Xianzhong occupies an absolute advantage, and the number of cavalry and personal soldiers around Zhang Xianzhong is close to 5,000 people, if there is a real fight, Li Zicheng is not an opponent, but once the fight is launched, it will be extremely cruel, and the 3,000 people under Li Zicheng are also absolutely loyal and will not surrender.

The outbreak of contradictions stems from the supply of grain and grass.

When Li Zicheng entered Sichuan, he lost all the grain and grass, but he carried a lot of gold and silver treasures, he and Zhang Xianzhong's union, not Zhang Xianzhong unconditionally provided grain and grass, but through guò silver purchase, the first ten days, Li Zicheng bought the price of grain, and the local price is about the same, six taels of silver per stone of grain, but this situation did not last long, as Zheng Jiajun entered Sichuan, the situation became tense, Zhang Xianzhong did not dare to go out to raise grain and grass lightly, Since mid-April, the price of grain has tripled, with the price of grain approaching twenty taels of silver per stone.

This is something that Li Zicheng can't bear, because of his unfamiliarity with the terrain of Sichuan, the sergeants under Li Zicheng's command can't purchase or collect grain and grass on their own, and Zhang Xianzhong will not give Li Zicheng such an opportunity, which forces Li Zicheng to find Zhang Xianzhong to buy grain, but Li Zicheng knows that Zhang Xianzhong actually has a dark line to buy grain, and through this route, Zhang Xianzhong can buy grain in the county or in villages and towns.

Zhang Xianzhong's approach was actually constantly weakening Li Zicheng's strength, and once Li Zicheng's gold and silver were not enough to maintain the grain and grass of 3,000 people, he was forced to obey Zhang Xianzhong's jurisdiction.

Li Zicheng couldn't bear it, he directly found Zhang Xianzhong, saying that he had been in Sichuan for a long time, and he needed to go out to see the surrounding situation, and the sergeants under his command also needed to go out to experience it, and when they encountered the encirclement and suppression of the Zheng family army in the coming day, they could also fight hard, but Li Zicheng's mention was rejected by Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong's reason was very simple, the Zheng family army has entered Sichuan and is beginning to encircle and suppress the righteous army, at such a critical moment, all the whereabouts of the righteous army must be kept secret, Li Zicheng was not familiar with the terrain around Kuizhou Mansion, and if he rashly went out to act, after being discovered by Zheng Jiajun, he would drag down the entire righteous army, and the righteous army would suffer a heavy blow.

Li Zicheng did not receive Zhang Xianzhong's help and decided to go it alone.

When discussing with Gu Junen, Gu Junen had been very silent, and finally said a word, saying that since Zhang Xianzhong knew the meaning of King Chuang, how could he not be on guard, and at this time, he wanted to lead his sergeants to evacuate, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to find an opportunity.

Li Zicheng, who was vigilant, suddenly realized that he regretted that he had found Zhang Xianzhong to negotiate before, and he also found that there were many eyes and ears around the place where the sergeants under his command were stationed.

Li Zicheng is not idle, he doesn't know how many dangers he has encountered, he will not sit still, and since he found Zhang Xianzhong to negotiate, the move to buy food with silver has also become miserable, Zhang Xianzhong often uses the excuse of lack of food, asking Li Zicheng to follow to overcome difficulties.

Li Zicheng decided to act, even if the fish died and the net was broken, he couldn't sit still.

What Li Zicheng can rely on is Gu Junen, after a night of heart-to-heart conversation, Gu Junen finally began to plan for evacuation, Gu Junen's method is also simple to say, that is, to find a breakthrough, Zhang Xianzhong deployed the monitoring personnel, then King Chuang took out the money, bought off one or two of the key people, and promised the other party a heavy reward in the future, so that he could evacuate unnoticed.

Li Zicheng entrusted Gu Junen with full authority to handle this matter, and gave Gu Junen a lot of gold, and when the disaster came, Li Zicheng was able to make a decisive decision.

In just three days, Gu Junen found a breakthrough, not only bought Zhang Xianzhong's sergeant, but also asked the other party to willingly lead Li Zicheng and others to evacuate, you must know that evacuation requires familiarity with the terrain, otherwise you will get lost in the mountains, and it will be a dead end.

It was not until the end of April that Li Zicheng finally found the best time to evacuate.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was still in a state of complacency, he thought that Li Zicheng could not escape from the palm of his hand, all his plans were flawless, and then he was waiting for Li Zicheng to show weakness, of course, in Zhang Xianzhong's heart, he would never let Li Zicheng go, as long as Li Zicheng lived, it was a threat to him.
