Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The people of Xi'an City are panicked, the wind and rain are miserable, some of the capable ones have fled, and those who have no ability can only close their homes. On the contrary, all those ruffians and hooligans were singled out, and they followed behind the rebels, robbing the people, stealing finances, and making their noses bubble!

Not only on the outside, but even in the palace, Li Zicheng lived in the original Qin Palace, which covers a wide area, and it is simply a city within a city. However, these days, many eunuchs have secretly escaped, and Eunuch Pang is loyal, leading people and horses, patrolling every day.

"Ancestor, don't be busy, the children are distressed when they look at it."

Eunuch Pang wiped his sweat and glared at the same time: "Our family sues you monkey cubs, when you leave the palace, we are nothing." The glory and wealth of this body are all rewarded by the master, long live the master, and the heart should be towards the master! ”

Eunuch Pang talked about his loyalty and patriotism, but a little eunuch next to him didn't care much, and quietly muttered: "If you are really a loyal monarch, why don't you die with the first emperor, what kind of thing is surrendering Li Zicheng!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Eunuch Pang's ears were good, and his two eyes were instantly fixed on the little eunuch's body.

"Say it again to our family!"

"Old Ancestor, the little ones don't dare, they don't dare!"

"Don't dare? Come on, add some rules to him. ”

At this time, suddenly there were two popping sounds from the corner of the wall, and Eunuch Pang hurriedly flashed his eyes, only to see two little eunuchs carrying a big burden, jumping over the courtyard wall, and about to run outside.

"Hurry, hurry!" The sharp Baoding words were harsh outside, and Eunuch Pang was crazy. Pointing to the little eunuch under his command and rushing over.

When the little eunuch who had just made a mistake saw it, he was like being pardoned. He got up, ran to a large hall behind him in a few steps, grabbed a few pieces of gold and silver, stuffed them into his arms, turned around and ran!

At this time, Li Zicheng didn't know that his country was full of holes, and he was still fighting his spirit and talking to his subordinates.

"An ** is ambitious, Gu Zhenhua will never let us go. To the east is not to be! ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report, Gu Zhenhua took in the red lady, I'm afraid that woman will be unfavorable to you!" In the opinion of the ministers, you can't go to the east, so you might as well go to the north! ”

"Northside?" Li Zicheng's eyes widened.

Niu Jinxing stiffened his head and said, "Your Majesty." Although the Tartar is rude, but it has just suffered a setback, and it is in need of manpower, we are sending charcoal in the snow at this time, and we will not lose the position of the king, which is much more majestic than Wu Sangui! ”

"Phew!"

Bull Venus is not finished yet. Li Zicheng smacked him hard.

"Lao Niu, I really didn't expect that you would be able to say this, I am the emperor of the Han people and the lord of the world. You let me surrender to the Tartars and be the prince of the Manchus. It's a shame that you can say it! ”

At this time, Li Guo and Gao Yigong pulled out their swords one after another and faced Niu Jinxing.

"Your Majesty, the ministers swear not to surrender to the Tartars, Niu Jinxing, if he can say this, he is not worthy of being a member of our Dashun army, and the minister will slash him now!"

Niu Jinxing was so frightened that he convulsed all over, his head was full of cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "Two generals, don't be angry." I also have no choice but to take refuge in Gu Zhenhua, there is only one way for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is there a third way? ”

Li Zicheng laughed loudly: "There is really a third way, can't I go south yet?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the eyes of all the generals present first lit up, and then everyone was affectionately gloomy.

Of course they know what it means to go south, and that is to Irikawa!

Song Xiance, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly said: "Qi Xi, Zhang Xianzhong has now been called the emperor, and the country is called Daxi, if we enter Sichuan, we will inevitably send people under the fence." ”

Liu Fangliang also said: "Your Majesty, you can't forget the past, and you can't take refuge in Zhang Xianzhong." ”

Liu Fangliang said that the past refers to the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng failed miserably, and took hundreds of men and horses to Zhang Xianzhong, but Zhang Xianzhong accepted Zhao'an at that time, not only did not accept Li Zicheng, but also prepared to kill him, but Li Zicheng was too vigilant, and ran away on a donkey alone.

Speaking of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two people are the same as the twin stars in the Liukou, the trajectory of fate is very interesting, three years later, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Zuo Liangyu again, and took refuge in Li Zicheng with the remnants of the defeated army, if it weren't for Luo Rucai's intercession, I was afraid that Zhang Xianzhong would die in the hands of Li Zicheng.

These two have been parting with each other for a long time, and now Li Zichengzhi is trying his best to be poor, and if he goes to Zhang Xianzhong again, he can't imagine what he can get.

Gao Yigong also said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister, it is better to go to Shangluo, pass through Henan, and enter Huguang." We are all familiar with this area, and there are no problems guaranteed. ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand: "No, Gu Zhenhua is not one of those foolish officials in the Ming Dynasty, under his nose, there is absolutely no good end, and the only way to do this is to enter Sichuan." It is the land of abundance, and the four wildernesses are dangerous, and you can't kill it. Only by giving me another piece of land, sooner or later it will inevitably make a comeback! ”

Speaking of this, Li Zicheng's face turned red, as if he had regained the demeanor of directing the country back then.

"As for Zhang Xianzhong, how many years has he been friends, as long as he is soft, he will never do it. It's a big deal to pretend to be a grandson, my Lao Li can be the emperor, and he can lower his head, it's not difficult, you just prepare it right away! ”

When the generals saw that Li Zicheng had made up his mind, they couldn't say anything, so they could only prepare separately. At this moment, someone suddenly ran in in a panic.

When he arrived at the door of the main hall, he fell to the ground, unable to say a word, and trembled all over.

"What's the matter, is the sheep crazy?"

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Tongguan is lost!"

"What!" Li Zicheng suddenly stood up, took a few steps to the front of the chamberlain, grabbed the clothes on his chest, and pulled the person up from the ground.

"Tell me again!"

"Your Majesty, Tongguan is lost!"

As soon as Li Zicheng heard this, he suddenly thundered, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground, Li Guo hurriedly supported him.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Li Zicheng suddenly seemed to be crazy. His eyes stared straight ahead, "What's going on?" What's going on, what the hell is going on! ”

The chamberlain cried and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that Liu Zhong led people to surrender to An**." ”

"Huh? What about Liu Zongmin, is he a dead man? ”

"Your Majesty, Marquis Liu has been captured!"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was completely stunned, and sat on the ground motionless. It is like a wood carving clay sculpture.

Tongguan is the gateway to Xi'an, and if Tongguan is lost, Xi'an will not be able to be saved!

Of course, the Dashun army knew the importance of Tongguan, so it sent more than 20,000 people to garrison it. After Liu Zongmin was defeated, he led the remnants of the defeated army to Tongguan, making the total number of troops guarding the pass close to 30,000.

With an army of 30,000. Coupled with the natural danger of Tongguan, no matter how much he does not fight, he can last ten days and half a month, which is enough for Li Zicheng to make a strategic transfer. But before he could start the action, he lost Tongguan, and the blow was too big.

In fact, it is no secret that Tongguan was lost. Before Gu Zhenhua moved his troops, he asked Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu to help persuade him to surrender, these thieves are not fools, Li Zicheng is in decline, and the Dashun army is crumbling. Hurry up and change the door and find a more promising master. It's not that hard.

After Liu Zhong got the letter of persuasion, he was also moved, so he tried Liu Zongmin on the side. How do you know that Liu Zongmin still has a bit of backbone, not only did he not surrender, but he also scolded Liu Zhong, and even let Liu Zhong be hung up and beaten with a whip.

Although Liu Zhong's official position is not as big as Liu Zongmin's, he is also a general, and he has a large group of loyal subordinates under his hands, and when they see Liu Zhong being humiliated, these people can't stand it.

When Liu Zhong, who had been beaten to pieces, returned to the mansion with his skin open, it boiled. Liu Zhong's generals came one after another, wanting to vent his anger and not mix with the Dashun army.

Originally, Liu Zhong was still a little hesitant, but as a result, Liu Zongmin was beaten, and he also strengthened his mind to surrender. Immediately, he pretended to think about it behind closed doors, and recovered his body. In secret, he secretly asked someone to send a letter to Gu Zhenhua, saying that he wanted to surrender to An**.

At this time, Gu Zhenhua was commanding the army to drive outside Tongguan, and the artillery arranged the siege position, and when everyone was busy, Liu Zhong's surrender letter came.

After seeing this letter, Li Xu and the others all shook their heads.

"Grandpa Guo, this is too smooth, I don't really believe it, don't be a thief's strategy!"

Wu Kaijie took the letter, read it for a long time, but said with a smile: "I don't think so, this Liu Zhong is most likely sincere surrender." is the so-called melon ripe and falling, Li Zicheng has reached this point, what is the way out, fools know what to do! ”

Gu Zhenhua also nodded and said with a smile: "If you can not fight, you will not fight." Reply to Liu Zhong, as long as he surrenders, Benjue will not treat him badly. ”

After getting Gu Zhenhua's reply, Liu Zhong immediately mustered up his enthusiasm and immediately began to arrange. In Tongguan, he has far more henchmen than Liu Zongmin.

However, Liu Zhong was still more cautious, he first found two beauties in the name of making amends and gave them to Liu Zongmin. Liu Zongmin, this guy has suffered repeated defeats, and he has long lost his original courage and perseverance, and has become greedy for pleasure and getting by.

didn't perceive the danger at all, and hugged the two beauties proudly and drunk.

At night, Liu Zhong ignored the pain, personally led people to attack Liu Zongmin's mansion, wiped out all his henchmen, and then rushed to the bedroom, just blocking Liu Zongmin naked, and there were two women lying beside him.

"Liu Zhong, what do you want to do?"

"What? Borrow your head! ”

Liu Zhong waved his hand and shouted: "Up, all of his subordinates rushed up, Liu Zongmin is also a man, he grabbed the embroidery pier next to the bed and held it in his hand." The best Huanghuali was rounded by the wind and smashed down five or six of Liu Zhong's subordinates.

"Okay, you Liu Zongmin, you dare to trap the beast and fight, give it to me!"

Suddenly, five or six soldiers rushed out, all of them holding the flying grabbing Bailian rope in their hands, picked them up, and threw them over according to Liu Zongmin. Someone hooked the shoulder, someone hooked the chair.

Liu Zongmin had nothing on him, and as soon as he was grabbed by steel, blood suddenly came out. The embroidery pier was also taken away, and suddenly all the other doors came up, and more than a dozen people pressed Liu Zongmin to the ground.

Then he took a rope and tied him up strong and sent him to Liu Zhong.

"Hahaha, hahaha, Liu Zongmin, I didn't expect you to have today, this is retribution! Come on, give a signal outside the city! ”

Gu Zhenhua, who was waiting for the news outside, suddenly saw three fires lit at the head of the city, which was the code they had agreed with Liu Zhong, and immediately let the army move.

They had just arrived under the drawbridge, and suddenly the city gate was opened, and two groups of soldiers rushed out, holding torches high, and behind them, a general rushed out, it was Liu Zhong.

"Sinners meet the Duke of Thistle!"

Gu Zhenhua looked up and down, and saw Liu Zhong in his forties, with a hooked nose, deep eye sockets, and a pair of yellow eyes, which didn't look good. However, Gu Zhenhua knew that he would have to be used at this time, so his face was full of smiles.

"General Liu, Tongguan is the best pass in the world, relying on your lord to not spend a single soldier, such a credit to the court will definitely play the court, and reward you well!"

If this is listened to by the people inside An**, it is not a good word, Gu Zhenhua wants to reward his subordinates, when does he care about the imperial court. On the contrary, when he said this, most of it was shirking, and there was even no mystery, but Liu Zhong didn't understand, and kowtowed excitedly.

"Thank you for your support, thank you for your grandfather!"

"General Liu, the top priority is to control the Tong Pass, and then kill Xi'an as much as possible!"

"The villain understands!"

Liu Zhong is also ruthless enough, after arresting Liu Zongmin, he directly ordered the residence of Liu Zongmin's subordinates to be surrounded, and countless firewood and grass were piled up outside, either surrender or burn them all to death!

Except for the real diehards, most of the others chose to surrender, tossing until dawn, An ** completely controlled Tongguan, and there were 20,000 more horses in his hands.

"General Liu, the noble god of soldiers, please take the men and horses immediately, kill Xi'an, and capture Li Zicheng alive. Li Zicheng is the murderer who forced the first emperor to death, if he can catch him, I am afraid that he can be directly made a marquis. ”

Liu Zhong was full of fighting spirit, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, I will definitely not let go of the traitor!" ”

……

"Your Majesty, according to the calculation of days, An** will not be away from Xi'an for a day, what do you think should be done?" Eunuch Pang asked cautiously.

"I don't have to bring anything, I only have eighteen horsemen when I am most down, and I am even alone, is it not the same to save the day!"

"Holy Tomorrow, all spirits help you!"

"Hahaha, you have a clever mouth, you really know how to talk."

At this moment, suddenly people outside shouted and neighed, and it became a mess, and Li Zicheng hurriedly rushed out with a sword.

"What's the matter, has the thief been killed?"

After a while, someone finally ran over, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the prime minister and Marquis Liu ran away?" ”

"Ran away? What ran away? ”

"Prime Minister Niu Cheng, as well as Liu Fangliang and Hao Shaoqi, they ran north!"

Li Zicheng's face changed wildly, and suddenly he opened his mouth and spurted out a cloud of dark red blood.

"Niu Jinxing, you'd rather be a traitor than keep me, I'm not even as good as a tartar?"

At this time, Li Guo and Gao Yigong rushed over with all the people and horses, and surrounded Li Zicheng and said: "Your Majesty, what do you command, go to the soup and fight the fire, and you will not give up!" ”
