The sunset was like blood, and Zhou Huchen led the army to camp outside the city of Taiyuan Mansion.

The route taken by Li Zicheng should be Pingdingzhou, and then go straight to Niangzi Pass and Jingcheng Pass. This route is not so simple, the dangerous mountains, river valleys, and the Great Wall of Niangzi Pass are a natural barrier built between Jin and Hebei, but unfortunately, there are few garrisons here, and for Li Zicheng's army, it is equivalent to no defense. There is no difference between Jingcheng Pass and Niangzi Pass, its garrison has not experienced any battles at all, and there are also very few personnel, so these two important passes cannot be any obstacle to Li Zicheng.

Now, the only thing that caused trouble for Li Zicheng's army was the road. This route is in the middle of ten thousand people, only the mountain road has nearly three hundred miles, especially after passing the Niangzi Pass, the road is known as "the car can not be square, and the riding can not be in a row." This is the reason for the danger of sheep intestines. Therefore, Li Zicheng's army will directly attack Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass in history, and now, the history of taking the Beijing division directly by two roads is gone, and Zhou Huchen has forced Li Zicheng onto this difficult route.

With such geographical conditions, there is no threat even if they catch up with Li Zicheng's army, and it is undoubtedly brainless for the cavalry to fight in such a geographical environment.

Therefore, Zhou Huchen was not in a hurry to catch up, and the generals also understood this truth, so naturally no one would have any objections.

When Zhou Huchen led his troops to the foot of the mountain, the cavalry army stopped and began to rest. After confirming that Li Zicheng's army had entered the mountain, he sent a message to Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji in Ningwuguan to "regain the lost territory", and Zhou Huchen began to wait.

Li Zicheng has been in the mountain for six days, and it seems that Li Zicheng is very resolute and acts quickly. Zhou Huchen estimated that it would take more than ten days for Li Zicheng's army to pass through this vast mountainous area, which means that Li Zicheng's vanguard may have reached Niangzi Pass by now.

It's already March, Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji have already set off for Taiyuan, and after a batch of supplies was delivered, Zhou Huchen also began to act.

The army was to start its journey at Ugin Mountain, a mountainous area with huge hills, and the road was not wide, but it was still good, allowing several horses to march side by side. In order to be safe, Gao Qiang has already hit the road a day early. In the continuous galloping return of the scouts, Zhou Huchen led the army to set off.

Arriving at the first stop, Shouyang, is a hundred miles away, and the war horses that have not shown Liliang for many days have begun to spread joy, and the long horse team has been shocked by countless dust, and the loess slopes and green hills have passed by in a blink of an eye.

Shortly after noon, a low stone city appeared in front of Zhou Huchen's eyes. Shouyang belongs to Taiyuan Mansion, there is no garrison here, and now, even the most basic court officials are gone, except for a few ordinary people, Li Zicheng has looted this small city.

Zhou Huchen knew that Li Zicheng was already very hungry, because the time had dragged on for too long, and Li Zicheng did not get the materials that he should have gotten. Zhou Huchen confirmed that he had created a big obstacle for Li Zicheng, and that Li Zicheng's embarkation on this difficult path had already explained everything.

Thirty miles east of Shouyang, the reckless Taihang Mountain appeared.

Thousands of peaks of Taihang Mountain are showing, and thousands of ravines compete for strangeness, with unique topography and landform. The canyon here is vertical and horizontal, and there are the famous Taihang Eight Mountains in history, that is, the eight throat passages of the ancient Jin, Hebei and Henan provinces through the Taihang Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles and are interconnected with hundreds of mountains; It is the place where the important military pass between the three provinces with thousands of peaks and staggered mountains is located.

There is a river in the loess high slope, this river called the Tao River is the direction of progress, and you can follow this river until you reach the front of Niangzi Pass.

The rugged and narrow mountain road, a winding river, and the verdant and rugged mountains were all there was to it, and the horses could no longer gallop, the soldiers dismounted, and a long walk began.

Two days, a hundred miles of travel is not so simple, fortunately, the soldiers have become accustomed to hardships and long lonely marches. When the not majestic Niangziguan appeared in the field of vision of Zhou Huchen and others, the scouts came to report that the entire villages near Niangziguan were looted, and many people were in the wilderness.

"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and syrup, open the gates of the city to meet the king, and when the king comes, he will not pay food."?

The facts are in front of you, and this widely circulated oral proverb is just a boil!

In the beginning stage, Li Zicheng did not have too many troops, and it was true that he could not pay grain, he could eat large households, empty the local treasury, and when he arrived in a place, he could extort the local landlords and gentry. When his army grows larger and larger, when Li Zicheng is short of food and salary to a certain extent, will this beautiful proverb still exist?

According to historical records, Li Zicheng took "Juntian exemption" as his call, announcing that "no tax will be levied for three years, not a single person will be killed, and he will buy and sell evenly." ”。 He paid attention to the discipline of the peasant army, stipulating: soldiers are not allowed to collect platinum; The seized items are returned to the public; The march does not live in civilian houses, and brings their own tents to camp; damage to crops, severe penalties; "Fair trade", "buy and sell", do not kill indiscriminately, and do not ** women. He also proposed, "Killing a man is like killing my father, and adulterating a woman is like adultering my mother." slogan. According to the annals of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Strategy, when the rebel army entered Beijing, there was no crime in the autumn, and General Liu Zongmin entered Beijing with the whole army, and the army was serious.

As for what Li Zicheng did after entering Beijing, there is no need to elaborate on what they did, because their various brutal acts have caused extremely serious consequences.

If you are not in this era, you will not understand the truth of history without personal experience, Li Zicheng's "Juntian is exempt" call, announcing that "no levy for three years, no people will be killed, and they will be bought and sold." He is actually just being preached by some people in history.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the title is the language of a liar.

The society is congested, there are countless fools, and the country is ruined. Li Zicheng is fooling the people of the world, but Li Zicheng underestimated the IQ of the people of the world, during this period of his conquest of the world, the resistance of the gentry organizations in various places has not stopped, although these people's liliang is vulnerable in front of Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, and many officials and gentry have chosen to surrender. However, there are constantly people resisting, and there are not many real talents to take refuge in Li Zicheng, which has already shown that Li Zicheng is not a heroic lord with the ability to dominate the world, and he does not have the support of the people.

Details determine success or failure, politics is not something that a former pawn can play, in the eyes of Zhou Huchen, Li Zicheng is at best a clown who has left a name in history.

Niangzi Pass is known as the ninth pass of the Great Wall, and it is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight. This ancient castle is surrounded by mountains and rivers, condescending, and is a very important pass for Jin and Hebei. Unfortunately, it is empty now.

The army entered Niangzi Pass, which was still fifty miles away from Jingcheng Pass. Fifty miles is just a small number, but it is the fifty miles that is the most difficult.

When Zhou Huchen led the army out of the Niangzi Guandong march, he finally understood what it meant that "the car cannot be square, and the ride cannot be in a column." ”。

How long the long line has been opened, Zhou Huchen doesn't know, but he wonders, how did Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of people pass? Now, Zhou Huchen can only laugh at himself, Li Zicheng's soldier

He must have been driven by hunger to make it through this difficult journey.

Out of the well pass, more than 70 miles away is the city of Zhending, Chongzhen seventeenth year of the seventh day of March, the North China Plain this fertile soil appeared in Zhou Huchen's field of vision.

The army began to be repaired, the two thousand mule-horse auxiliaries began to be busy, all the cavalry would bring enough food and related supplies, and all future supplies would not be able to count on their own logistics troops, and the soldiers had to rely on themselves.

The 5,000 fierce cavalry were ready, and a different kind of gallop was about to begin
