It was finally dawn.

Wanxian to Wuning is only one hundred and ten miles, this distance, if it is according to the speed of the march on weekdays, even if it is a foot soldier, it can be reached in more than a day, not to mention the cavalry, it can be reached in more than an hour, but the whole night has passed, Li Zicheng and his three thousand sergeants are still more than 20 miles away from Wuning, it can be seen that it is not easy to come out of the mountains, Zhang Xianzhong's station, more than 50 miles away from Wanxian, close to Liangshan County, Li Zicheng and Gu Junen and others, must first get out of the mountains, Only by turning back to Wanxian and going on the official road can it be possible to go in the direction of Wuning and Chungju, otherwise you will always wander around in the mountains, and everyone will collapse.

There are pursuers behind, the road ahead is boundless, Li Zicheng can be said to be facing the most important choice, only caring about hurrying at night, plus the mountain road is slippery, a little careless may fall off the cliff, death Huangquan, so the possibility of the two armies fighting is not large, Li Zicheng is in front of the head of the road, the pursuers behind are also closely following.

After walking the official road of the mountain, Li Zicheng's expression finally improved, and after a night of marching, dozens of brothers fell into the cliff, and the loss was not very large, but Li Zicheng counted all the accounts on Zhang Xianzhong's head, if Zhang Xianzhong was not forced to do so, he would not have such a loss.

The pursuers in the rear have not been thrown off, you must know that the sergeants under the command of Zhang Xianzhong have been in the mountains for a long time, and they are basically adapted to the mountain road, in comparison, the sergeant under Li Zicheng, although he is the most elite, but the mountain road is still not as good as the other party, after the official road, the speed of the march is obviously much faster. But after a night of running in the dark, the sergeant and the war horse were extremely tired, so it was impossible to get rid of the pursuing sergeant.

The chasing soldiers behind were getting closer and closer, and Li Zicheng's face instantly turned pale.

Gu Junen, who was on the side, understood Li Zicheng's inner thoughts. At this time, he must speak, if the two rebel armies really fight, they can only leave the opportunity to the official army, after all, this is on the official road, not in the mountains. It's still very cruel to fight, of course, if you want to fight, it's a helpless choice.

"King Chuang, there is a subordinate Jianyì."

Li Zicheng knew what Gu Junen wanted to say, but he didn't really want to hear it. However, this time the three thousand sergeants were able to escape from the valley, relying entirely on Gu Junen, if it weren't for Gu Junen's advice, the current situation would not have been possible.

"Say it, I'll listen."

"The chasing soldiers sent by Zhang Xianzhong are not far from us, King Chuang must be trying to teach the other party a hard lesson, and his subordinates also think that Zhang Xianzhong has done too much. It was born from the same root, so why not be too anxious to fry each other, but his subordinates asked King Chuang to think carefully. There are still many dangers in front of us, Zhongzhou is the station of the white pole soldiers, Qin Liangyu is very famous in Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong has been defeated by Qin Liangyu many times, so he can only operate in the area of Kuizhou, and cannot go deep into the hinterland of Sichuan. If we fight with Zhang Xianzhong, won't we leave the opportunity to the officials and soldiers. When the time came, the officers and troops came to encircle and suppress us, and we had almost no strength to fight back. ”

"I know that. But Zhang Xianzhong worked hard, and had already sent an army to pursue, and after a night, they were still closely following behind, what does this mean, do you think that I, Li Zicheng, am easy to bully, if I don't give him some lessons, wouldn't it let him continue to run rampant. ”

"King Chuang's thoughts, subordinates can understand, but subordinates still think that peace is precious, since King Chuang left Wanxian, then in the future and Zhang Xianzhong, is the well water does not violate the river water, the previous grievances can be put aside, in the future can not be contacted at all, King Chuang needs to think about what to do next, how to pass through Zhongzhou, how to enter Banzhou, and finally be able to enter Guizhou, this is the most important task, to complete this task, you need to preserve your strength to the greatest extent."

Li Zicheng listened very carefully, the next plan of action, he and Gu Junen discussed many times, and finally finalized it, it can be said that there are many difficulties in the back, entering Guizhou or Yunnan, not familiar with the terrain at all, I don't know how many dangers to encounter, preserving strength is indeed the most important thing, if he fights with Zhang Xianzhong at this time, the loss is too great, it is impossible for him to fight a bloody way and enter Guizhou.

"What you say makes sense, but how can we get rid of Zhang Xianzhong's pursuers, they are always struggling behind them, is it possible that we still have to pray for them."

"If King Chuang can be trusted, this matter will be handed over to his subordinates to handle, and his subordinates will solve it alone."

Li Zicheng looked at Gu Junen and hesitated, Gu Junen was his indispensable advisor, if there was danger, then the difficulties he would face in the future would be even greater.

Seeing that Li Zicheng didn't say anything, Gu Junen then spoke.

"Don't worry, King Chuang, his subordinates naturally have a way to deal with it."

When Gu Junen saw Sun Kewang, he had a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be General Sun, who followed us all night, and it was hard work."

After a night of running, Sun Kewang's anger had long been unbearable, and he made a heavy mistake, allowing Li Zicheng to lead his sergeants to flee the valley, and he didn't know what kind of punishment he was going to receive, but when he saw Gu Junen at this moment, he finally couldn't help it.

However, Sun Kewang, who is known as a wall, is cunning, and even if he has great anger, he can control it well.

"It turned out to be Mr. Gu, my father ordered me to follow all the way, just worried that there would be a problem with King Chuang, there are officials and soldiers everywhere, facing a lot of dangers, Mr. Gu still persuaded King Chuang, follow me back, if there are any problems, everyone is good to discuss, this is all an internal matter of the righteous army, but don't let there be problems within the righteous army because of these frictions, wouldn't it give the officers and soldiers a chance."

Gu Junen, who was full of confidence, heard Sun Kewang say this, his body trembled slightly, he was originally full of confidence, believing that he could talk about Sun Kewang, but at this time, he had no confidence.

"What General Sun said is that there can be no problems within the righteous army, but I also borrowed General Sun's words, there are contradictions within the righteous army, and these contradictions are unavoidable, so it is best for the two righteous armies to be separated for a period of time, and King Chuang also thought of this, some contradictions can not be underestimated, and if you don't pay attention to it, it is possible to lead the two righteous armies to have internal strife, King Chuang left Wanxian, thinking about going to other places, without any malicious intent, and asked General Sun to think about it carefully."

"Mr. Gu can really say it, but I am on my father's order, this explanation matters, is it to ask King Chuang and Mr. Gu to explain to my father, such a heavy matter, I can't call the shots, besides, the two righteous armies are rashly separated, and King Chuang acts alone, it will definitely alarm the officials and soldiers, if it is discovered by the official army, my father will be in danger, I think Mr. Gu still persuades King Chuang to stop the march temporarily, how about it."

Gu Junen's face had become grim, and his smile had long disappeared without a trace, he knew very well that he couldn't say that he couldn't move this Sun Kewang, and his own move was very likely to put himself in great danger.

"In this way, General Sun doesn't want to let go of King Chuang."

"Mr. Gu, don't say that, I never thought about dealing with King Chuang, King Chuang is the leader of the rebel army, I will never dare to do anything to King Chuang, I can swear by this, of course, it is not very realistic to ask King Chuang to return to the valley now, I see if this is the case, not far ahead is Wuning Town, if there are any contradictions and problems between us, we will discuss it again in Wuning Town."

Gu Junen thought for a while, he could only nod, at this time, any opinions he put forward had no effect, and this Sun Kewang in front of him would never agree.

"Okay, I will bring this meaning to King Chuang, I hope we can make it clear in Wuning Town, everyone does not interfere with river water, and it is best to live in peace."

"I'm relieved that Mr. Gu said this, but since Mr. Gu is here, you might as well stay, I also have a lot of things, I want to ask Mr. Gu, as for the matter discussed in Wuning Town, I can send a sergeant to deliver the letter, King Chuang will definitely believe it, Mr. Gu will see how this arrangement is."

Gu Junen had already expected this, he couldn't leave easily, and Sun Kewang wouldn't let him go.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey, and I didn't think I would be able to leave anytime soon."

Sun Kewang's smug calculation is established, the 5,000 soldiers he led do not dare to guarantee the complete defeat of Li Zicheng, but if the 5,000 soldiers led by Li Dingguo also catch up, then it can guarantee the extermination of the 3,000 soldiers under Li Zicheng, at least it can guarantee to trap Li Zicheng, or even capture Li Zicheng alive, as long as Li Zicheng is captured, all problems will be solved.

However, Sun Kewang will not take it lightly, he knows that Li Zicheng is powerful, so he can only use the strategy of delaying the army, and he has secretly ordered the sergeant to speed up the pace of the march and catch up with Li Zicheng as soon as possible.

Li Zicheng didn't have any expression on his face, he didn't approve of anything to say peace, he knew Zhang Xianzhong too well, there was no point in saying peace like this, it still needed to fight to be effective, and the winner was king.

The choice in front of Li Zicheng was very clear, either give up Gu Junen and the sergeant quicken the pace of the march and go in the direction of Chungju as much as possible, or the sergeant slowed down and negotiated in Wuning according to Sun Kewang's words.

It is less than ten miles away from Wuning Town, and it takes a few minutes to speed up the horse.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Zicheng made a decision, the army was stationed in place, waiting for Sun Kewang, he must rescue Gu Junen, if he can't do this, who else is willing to follow him to do things in the future.

King Chuang is King Chuang, and making this decision can be said to have saved his life.

The sergeant who came to report the news was very happy to see that King Chuang had made a decision, and he hurriedly went back to report it, he probably thought that Li Zicheng was dead this time. (To be continued)
