The boat kowtows!

Keep up the good work!

Luoyang City, located in the west of Henan Province and the heart of the Central Plains, is one of the six most famous ancient capitals in Chinese history and the core birthplace of Han and Tang cultures!

The ancients talked about Luoyang, saying that she was 'carrying the mountain, facing Yique, the river and the mountain controlled, and the situation was the best in the world!' ’

In the north of Luoyang City, it is the vast mountain barrier, in the south, Yique towers, the east is connected to the Tiger Pass, in the west, it is the world-famous Hangu Pass, and in the center, it is the fertile land, swallowing mountains and rivers, the dragon and the tiger leaping, since ancient times, it is the core hinterland of China, the Central Plains Town!

At this time, it was the end of November of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and fine snowflakes were scattered in the sky, and the sky and the earth were hazy and very cold!

The four gates of Luoyang City are closed, and they are slaughtered, and they can no longer find a trace of prosperity in the past!

At the head of the city, you can faintly see that there are many vague figures, carefully looking at the southwest direction, the continuous group of intruding army camps!

On the dirt slope outside the city, dozens of figures can be vaguely seen, they are riding on horses, and they are carefully peeping in the direction of Luoyang City!

"King Chuang, right now, our brothers from all sides are almost all here! What else are we going to do with these miscellaneous inkblots? Simply, as soon as you give an order, today, we will take this Luoyang City! Hey! I, Lao Liu, have never seen the life of the emperor's relatives! ”

The person who spoke, a mouthful of rice fat, was tall and strong, with a full beard, and a three-foot-long steel knife hanging from his waist, and he couldn't stop being fierce!

At this time, his lewd smile is like Zhong Kui in the world, I am afraid that he can make the child stop crying!

This person is Liu Ruyi's own family, the number one general under Li Zicheng - Liu Zongmin, a man from Shaanxi Mizhi!

"Hehe, Brother Liu, can't you wait?" A middle-aged man wearing a round felt hat next to him, about less than forty, but with a vicissitudes of life, looked back and smiled.

He is of medium height, only slightly taller than ordinary people, with a pair of eagle eyes, blazing, and although his words are soft and smiling, he has an undoubted domineering!

This person is the head of the 400,000 exile army that broke into the camp, the confidant of Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, who is also from Mizhi, Shaanxi!

"Hey, hey! King Chuang, my old Liu Ke has heard about it a long time ago! The blessed king in Luoyang City, there are five or six hundred wives and concubines alone, and he sleeps for a year, but he can't finish a round! Hey! Now that we're here, I, Lao Liu, I have to help him if I say anything, don't we? Liu Zongmin smiled obscenely!

"Ha Lu Ha! Brother Liu is really a man of temperament! Li Zicheng couldn't help but laugh!

Although Li Zicheng is a little displeased with Liu Zongmin's fetish, he can fight well, move forward bravely, and is the number one general who breaks into the camp, compared with his merits, even if he likes to sleep with women, then this is not a shortcoming!

After all, it's a man, so it's just a mouthful, isn't it?

"Huh! Brother Liu, don't worry! Your request was written down in a certain mind! However, it is imperative that we pry open this iron plate tooth first! Li Zicheng glanced at Liu Zongmin, but turned his head to look at the majestic and isolated Luoyang City not far away!

"Huh! What's so hard about that? King Chuang, as long as you give an order, I, Lao Liu, am willing to be the vanguard of the army and set foot in Luoyang City! Liu Zongmin knelt down on one knee and said!

Li Zicheng likes Liu Zongmin's joy, but at this time, reinforcements from all walks of life have not yet gathered, and it is far from time to attack the city now!

Li Zicheng smiled and nodded, but he didn't say anything!

On the side, a lewd middle-aged man with a figure like a dwarf, but with two goatees, smiled: "Hehe, Master Liu, Luoyang City has thick walls, and there are many defenders in the Ming Court, if we attack like this, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of casualties!" With a little patience, everything is in the hands of King Chuang! ”

This person is the military master who broke into the camp from a fortune teller - Song Xiance!

Liu Zongmin glanced at Song Xiance and said unhappily: "Military advisor, it's troublesome to talk to you cultural people!" What's the matter, don't you just tell my old Liu Ming? ”

After Liu Zongmin finished speaking, a tall and handsome young man next to him also smiled: "Strategist, what Liu Ye said is good!" Do you have a good idea for breaking the city? You might as well speak up and let us also gain knowledge! ”

Song Xiance smiled, stroked his two long goatees, and glanced at Li Zicheng on the side.

Li Zicheng also nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Strategist, what do you think?" I would like to hear you! ”

Seeing that Li Zicheng and Li Guo had spoken, Song Xiance was full of ambition in his heart, and said with a smile: "King Chuang, since the beginning of the year, our army, even more than ten county towns such as Yiyang, Yongning, Xin'an, Shenchi, Yanshi, Songxian, and Dengfeng in western Henan have formed an encirclement of Luoyang City!" But after all, Luoyang City has high walls and thick defenses, and it is the heart of the Ming Court, far from being comparable to the small cities we captured before! ”

Song Xiance continued to stroke his beard, pretending to be unfathomable: "So, King Chuang, for Luoyang City, we can only outwit, not attack!" ”

Liu Zongmin couldn't stand Song Xiance being a nerd like this, and said dissatisfied: "Strategist, what is the best plan, you can say it clearly!" If you are happy, let's go down to Luoyang City first, stay until Layue, and approach Kaifeng, before the year, we will definitely be able to put the Central Plains into our pockets! ”

Song Xiance stroked his goatee unhurriedly, and looked at this Liu Zongmin and said with a smile: "Master Liu, this rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the words have to be said sentence by sentence!" Just like when we eat, if we eat too fast and can't digest it in our stomach, that person will definitely be uncomfortable! ”

For reckless men like Liu Zongmin, they have been together for a long time, and Song Xiance also has his own means to deal with it!

He was originally a fortune teller, and he is the best at figuring out people's hearts!

For a person like Liu Zongmin, the more anxious he is, the more you have to consume his temperament, and control the rhythm of the conversation in your own hands, so that he has energy and no place to vent!

Li Guo nodded beside him, "What the military advisor said is extremely true!" But right now, Luoyang is already an isolated city, and the Ming army reinforcements can't arrive for the time being, this is a good opportunity for us! ”

Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, Li Zicheng has no heirs, he is equivalent to the 'prince' in the exile army, and his status is very high!

Moreover, Li Guo has a soft temperament, is modest and studious, and has always been popular in the Wandering Army, and Song Xiance dared to lose his face easily, and said with a smile: "What Master Hu said is good!" (Li Guo's nickname 'A Tiger') Luoyang is a lonely city! But don't forget, when we attacked these counties around Luoyang, more than half of the remnants of the defeated Ming army fled to Luoyang City! Coupled with the original strength of Luoyang City, we want to take it in one go, which is a bit difficult! ”

Li Guo nodded, deeply intrigued, and hurriedly arched his hand: "I am willing to listen to the military advisor's instructions!" ”

Song Xiance smiled slightly, but said to another scribe beside him: "Juming, come and talk about it!" ”

The scribe next to him was in his early forties, dressed in a scholar's green shirt, and when he heard what Song Xiance said, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Thank you for the love of the military advisor!" If there is anything wrong with what the students say, please include King Chuang and the generals! ”

This person is Niu Jinxing, who has just passed through Li Yan to join the camp!

Although he proposed to Li Zicheng the good policy of 'less torture and killing, relief of the hungry, and winning people's hearts', which was quite valued by Li Zicheng, but at this time, after all, he had been in the camp for too short a time, and he had no status, and his words were light, which was far from comparable to Song Xiance!

In the land of China, the most important thing is 'seniority', Song Xiance knows that Niu Jinxing has great talent, and at this time, he is also happy to take him!

But the most important thing is that Song Xiance is just a fortune teller who has read Zhou Yi for a few weeks, if he talks about breaking the city at this time, where does he have any good strategy? Then pull out the bull Venus to make a 'shield!' ’

That's right, Song Xiance can pretend to be profound, so that the generals feel that he has a 'wisdom to know people', even if Niu Jinxing is wrong, then he does not have the slightest responsibility, but can be felt open-minded by Li Zicheng!

Niu Jinxing was anxious to get ahead in the camp at this time, so it was naturally impossible to expect Song Xiance's intentions, thought for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The opinions of King Chuang, the military advisor, the generals, and the students are the same as the military advisor!" Luoyang City has thick walls and many defenders, so you can only outwit it, not storm it! Even if we attack it, we must not attack it now! At this time, our army has not yet been gathered, there are no heavy siege weapons, and it is the middle of winter, and the siege pressure is too great! ”

Niu Jinxing paused, cautiously looked at everyone's faces, and found that everyone was listening to what he said, and hurriedly said: "At this time, Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong are in Huguang, Ding Qirui, Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue and others are still wandering in western Henan, and they are not to worry about the army!" The imperial court is in the Central Plains, and there are no more soldiers to fight! So, time is tight for us! However, it is reported that the imperial army has just won a great victory in Liaodong and defeated the Qing army, and the reinforcements in the Guannai have returned to defense! The only thing we have to guard against should be the Liu Ruyi Department of Shandong Caishi Army! ”

Hearing Liu Ruyi, Li Zicheng's eyelids couldn't help twitching, although he had not fought with Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army, but Zhang Xianzhong's several fiascos, Li Zicheng saw it in his eyes, he had accumulated energy in Shangluo Mountain for so long, he didn't want to come up and run into Liu Ruyi's 'Death Star', and then be beaten back to his original form!

"Mr. Niu, in your opinion, Shandong Liu Ruyi, will he really send troops to the Central Plains?" Li Zicheng said to Niu Jinxing.

The ears of the crowd were pricked up!

Niu Jinxing also came to confidence at this time, smiled slightly, and explained: "King Chuang, military advisor, generals, before, students have also studied Liu Ruyi's life, although this person was born in a rich and noble family, but he walked a reckless road!" He can get to this day completely by stepping on other people's shoulders! This time, he returned from Liaodong, and although he won the battle, he must have lost a lot! If the imperial court didn't give him enough benefits, the student dared to assert that he would never easily send troops to the Central Plains! Even if he sends troops, it will definitely be after the year! So, we still have time! As long as Luoyang City is taken before Liu Ruyi sends out troops, even if Liu Ruyi has three heads and six arms, he will definitely not be able to endure what we do! ”

Li Zicheng nodded thoughtfully, at this time, although he was sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops, and in the past year, he had swept through most of the Central Plains, but in fact, in his bones, Li Zicheng still couldn't help but feel worried in his heart in the face of the real elite officers and soldiers!

And Niu Jinxing's explanation clarified the key points for him and made his heart clear!

"Holy shit, what kind of thing is Liu Ruyi! Even if he dares to come! My Lao Liu keeps the righteousness of killing relatives, so that this little cub who doesn't know what to do has no return! On the side, Liu Zongmin was unhappy and scolded!

In the world, can there be anyone more brave than him Liu Ye?

Li Zicheng waved his hand, turned his head to Li and said, "Go, go, immediately send someone to investigate!" Hao Shaoqi, Li Yan brothers, where have they been! The battle of Luoyang, I'm afraid we can't drag it out any longer! ”

"Yes!"
