Li Zicheng was scolded by this person as a thief, and he was naturally very unhappy in his heart. Ten years ago, he could naturally kneel and kowtow to the gentry who were rampant in the countryside, but today, he is already the generalissimo of the Fengtian Initiative who has raised hundreds of thousands of troops and is rampant all over the world.

Not to mention a captured official, even those nobles and descendants of Taizu had to kneel at his feet and kowtow and beg for mercy, and in the end they still couldn't escape a severed head.

There were many moments when Li Zicheng wanted to completely erase the scribe in front of him from Shijie, and even thought of a way to ruin his reputation. These thoughts slapped Li Zicheng's head in waves, and finally made him no longer have the patience to sit here and waste it.

As always, it was in vain.

Li Zicheng was annoyed, got up and walked out the door. Suddenly, I heard someone talking outside, and when I pushed the door, I saw that it was a young man who had just grown a beard. The man had a haggard face and was dressed in a blue robe, like a student who had come to the temple to visit the ancient world. When Li Zicheng saw this person, his spirits lifted in vain, and he strode forward and said, "Qiu Shilang, it's you who are here." ”

When the student saw Li Zicheng, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and called him "marshal".

Li Zicheng's face was full of spring breeze, and he stepped forward to help Naqiu Shilang and said, "Shilang is late today." ”

Qiu Shilang said: "The marshal forgives the sin, there is something in the ministry, and he didn't dare to leave without permission, and he can't come over until it's done." ”

"Oh? What's going on in the ministry? Li Zicheng asked.

Since Li Zicheng established the Generalissimo's Mansion in Xiangyang, he changed Xiangyang to Changyi Mansion, sent officials widely, and set up six administrations/mansions in the central government. Because there is no founding number, and there is no change in the yuan, the year of the cadres and branches used in the document transfer notice. Niu Jinxing has to be appointed prime minister, and there are six politicians/government servants who are in charge of government affairs. There is an assistant under the squire.

This administrative system is like a reduced and revised version of the Ming court system, in fact, Niu Jinxing does not have the power to be polite to hundreds of bureaucrats, and Li Zicheng does not need the help of the six ministries to deal with any major matters. Because now everything is up to him to decide. Speaking of which, in addition to the two administrations/governments of the soldiers and officials, which are responsible for military affairs and the selection of officials, the other four governments/governments have not played a significant role.

Qiu Shilang said: "Marshal, it has been rumored recently that the left thief is so big that the military government has sent someone to investigate. ”

Li Zicheng's eyebrows furrowed.

Zuo Liangyu and him are old rivals, although they are called official thieves. In fact, they are dependent on each other. There have been several crises, if it weren't for Zuo Liangyu's excessive selfishness, I'm afraid he could only stage the tragedy of escaping alone again. However, now that Zuo Liangyu is in the same domain, if he really has the intention to attack Xiangyang and occupy the two lakes, it is also a matter of course.

Li Zicheng knew that Xiangyang was the place where Jingzhou was located in the Three Kingdoms dialect, which was a place that Zhuge Liang valued very much, and it was naturally a place where soldiers would fight.

"I'm afraid the rumors are untrue," Li Zicheng frowned, "If the left thief wants to come." Most of the time it was to fight Wuchang first. No matter how bad Huang Hu is, he will not give it to him in vain. ”

At the beginning of this year, Li Zicheng had already occupied Xiaogan, Hanchuan and Hanyang Mansions, and his troops were approaching Wuchang. At that time, Zuo Liangyu retreated without a fight, and fled all the way to Chizhou (now Guichi, Anhui) with his army. Li Zicheng thought that the official army in Hubei was weak, so he would definitely go down with a drum, so he turned his head and annexed "Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and "Ge Li Eye" He Yilong first, and unified the order.

Huang Hu is Zhang Xianzhong.

On strength. He is far weaker than Li Zicheng. However, in terms of brute strength, it is far better than any reasonable person. No one expected it. Zhang Xianzhong actually came from Anhui and occupied Wuchang in one fell swoop by taking advantage of Neiying, and seized this important town in Jianghan. Immediately established Daxi in Wuchang, changed the provincial capital to the capital, and cast the treasure of the king of the west; Wuchang Mansion was changed to Tianzhu Mansion, and Jiangxia County was changed to Shangjiang County. Zhang Xianzhong himself lived in the palace of the king of Chu. Two big flags were also erected in front of the door, one was written "Heaven and Man Return", and the other was written "Recruitment".

As for the establishment of six departments, the selection of officials, and the opening of the imperial examination. The emphasis on school, just like Zhu Ming's style, is no less than Li Zicheng in terms of momentum.

When this incident reached Li Zicheng's ears, it was naturally like cutting off the flesh of his heart.

He is the same age and nationality as Zhang Xianzhong, and after fighting and killing along the way, he has more or less saved an incense friendship. Especially fifteen years before Chongzhen, the emperor's shelf had not completely collapsed, and if it was said that the emperor Lao'er would sit on the dragon chair by himself, no one would have that confidence. Therefore, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Ge, Zuo Fifth Battalion and Zhang Xianzhong, as the largest rebel army in the world, mostly sympathize with each other and fight together.

It was only because of this incense that Li Zicheng did not send troops to attack, so he had to temporarily cede Wuchang to Zhang Xianzhong. However, this is Wuchang Mansion, the thoroughfare of the world, and even if it is let out, Li Zicheng is quite heartbroken.

However, Zhang Xianzhong ate Li Zicheng's mentality of wanting face, and ordered the army to enter the land of Bashu in the west, leaving only a few troops in Wuchang. In this way, Li Zicheng was unwilling to bear the notoriety of killing each other, and he did not want to be ridiculed by the people of the world to take advantage of the situation, so Zhang Xianzhong steadily included Wuchang in his pocket.

If Zuo Liangyu really sent troops to fight, he would naturally pick soft persimmons and pinch them. Xiangyang is the fundamental place of Li Zicheng, with stable operation and a wide range of soldiers. Wuchang is Zhang Xianzhong's territory, and there is no army to defend it, so it is clear who will fight first. What's more, the value of Wuchang is far better than Xiangyang. If Zuo Liangyu does not fight Wuchang and helps Sun Chuanting fight Xiangyang, the credit will be attributed to Sun Chuanting, and he can only share some soup at most.

If General Zuo is really so impartial and selfless, don't expect to get out in this troubled world.

Qiu Shilang saw that Li Zicheng didn't think so, and said: "Marshal, the matter of the military formation still needs to be verified before it can be concluded." ”

Li Zicheng smiled lightly, but he didn't want to weaken the young man's self-motivation, so he said generously: "It's also haode to send someone to find out." Forehead left first, you can persuade him well. Let's just say that there is a prime minister here, if he is willing to help, it is not that he can't give it to him. ”

Qiu Shilang bowed and said, "Zhi Tao Gong send the marshal!" ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand and strode out.

Qiu Zhitao stood at the door of the monk's house for a while, and when he couldn't see the figure of Li Zicheng's attaché, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, and shouted in a low voice: "Mr. Li, student Qiu Zhitao asks to see Mr. ”

There was silence in the room.

But the door was already open.

"Come on in!" Mr. Li, who had a frosty face, was now full of anticipation, and he didn't seem to mind that Qiu Zhitao was an important member of the thief's side.

Military Administration/Mansion Squire, if it is calculated according to the Ming Dynasty, it is a first-order figure in the Ministry of War.

Qiu Zhitao stepped into the door, swept back, and closed the door of the house. He was about to salute Mr. Li, but was held up by Mr. Li.

"Is there a reply over there?" Mr. Li asked in a low voice, and suddenly let go of his voice and scolded: "You thief! Three generations of your family have suffered from the emperor's grace, and you have become a thief! What other faces! ”

"Governor Qin has already left Tongguan and attacked Luoyang, and there is no other news yet." Qiu Zhitao has long been accustomed to this way of talking, and while lowering his voice and replying, he said loudly: "Li Zhensheng, you are a scholar, don't you know that you should be a person?" Why do you go against the sky? ”

Li Zhensheng heard that Sun Chuanting went out of Tongguan in the east, and the word "Sichuan" between the two eyebrows was finally loosened a lot. He suppressed the joy in his heart and shouted, "Shut up! You traitor, don't get out of here! ”

"I won't leave, what about you!" Qiu Zhitao replied loudly, and said in a low voice: "Sir, Governor Qin led an army of 100,000 this time, and there are partial teachers to respond, you and I can really see the day when the sunny sky will return to light!" ”

Li Zhensheng remembered the hardships he had endured day and night since he was captured, and he couldn't help but feel sour at the root of his nose, and sighed in a low voice: "Why don't I want to follow Song Futai to prove his strength." However, he wants to keep his useful body, kill the thief and repay the king, and he is unwilling to abandon it. ”

"Mr. Jiejie will be clear to the world." Qiu Zhitao comforted.

"You are so young, you can be so disregarded as a thief, and you can be a famous teacher!" Li Zhensheng's eyes were filled with tears.

Qiu Zhitao's heart suddenly slackened, and said sadly: "I have the hatred of my family and the country, and I am so fierce, I only want to see the day he bestows his head, even if he dies without regrets!" "His father Qiu Yu is now the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and his grandfather Minzhong scolded the thief and died when Yicheng fell.

It is not easy for a young man to grovel and not show the slightest resentment when he sees an enemy every day. Only in front of Li Zhensheng can Qiu Zhitao vent. The two are interdependent, holding on to a fragile pillar of faith.

"Mr. should also take care of his health, in the future, the court will clean up the place, and he must borrow the power of Mr." Qiu Zhitao wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, looked at Li Zhensheng's thin face, and persuaded gently.

"I'm self-reflecting. The virtuous brother walks in this wolf's den every day, and he must also be cautious and not neglected. Li Zhensheng grabbed Qiu Zhitao's arms tightly and took care of him solemnly.

Qiu Zhitao nodded to show that he understood, and asked Li Zhensheng to help him see if his eyes were red, and waited until there was no sadness on his face before he walked out of the monk's house.

Although there are no Li Zicheng's spies outside, there are many curious monks, as long as the slightest rumor spreads, I am afraid that it will be a big deal.

Since he endured his grief and served as the military administration/government of the thief, and was soon added to the squire, he has been using his power to appoint a private person and secretly get in touch with Sun Chuanting. This time, Sun Chuanting swore to Shaanxi, and part of the reason was that Qiu Zhitao, the internal response, informed Li Chuang of the internal reality.

Moreover, Qiu Zhitao even made an appointment with Sun Chuanting: once the Qin soldiers pressed the border and the war was deadlocked, he pretended to spread the military information of Zuo Liangyu's attack and deceived Li Zi into forming troops to return to the defense.

Sun Chuanting is a capable general who has been in battle for a long time, if this plan is sold, it is really possible to crush the thieves in a battle and pacify the Central Plains. Back then, Li Zicheng was able to make a comeback after defeating Shangluo on the eighteenth horse, and now his subordinates have enjoyed Huahua Shijie, how can they afford to endure such hardships that day? (To be continued......)
