Seeing what Li Guo was going to say, of course Li Zicheng knew that his nephew still wanted to go to the Zhongnan Mountain base by himself.

At the same time, Li Zicheng's mind appeared Gao Guiying's voice and smile, that smile, and the big belly poop when she was pregnant, she couldn't help but feel relieved, her face was full of sweetness, and then she changed her words: "Guo'er, don't worry, if I can, I will go back before your aunt is born." As long as we cross the Yellow River and enter Henan with Wang Ziyong, as long as the situation does not change much, I will ride the black ruffian back. At the speed of the black ruffian, it should be possible to reach the base of Zhongnan Mountain in two or three days. ”

Hearing this, Li Guo's expression was obviously relaxed, and he couldn't help but think of his aunt's entrustment when he left the Zhongnan Mountain base.

However, as if thinking of something, Li Guo's expression changed suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he said worriedly: "Uncle, I don't doubt the speed of the black ruffian, with all my strength, I can send you to the Zhongnan Mountain base within two days." But, uncle, in this way, you are equivalent to crossing Henan and Shaanxi single-handedly, is this too dangerous? If someone finds out where you are, it's dangerous. ”

Li Zicheng smiled, smiling a little relaxed and open, as if he didn't care.

"Hehe... After, if you care, why did you forget? Let's not mention that the ruffian has a keen sense of smell, and within a radius of ten miles, it can judge the enemy's whereabouts, let's just say that its speed of escape, even if the officers and soldiers really find out, what can it do? Can you still catch up with the speed of the ruffian? ”

After saying this, Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked instead: "By the way, later, I heard that the Fushe is going to hold some Tiger Hill Conference, bringing together a large number of literati and scholars, people of insight, is it true?" ”

"Well, yes uncle." Li Guo blurted out a word, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and said further: "However, this Tiger Hill Conference does not mean anything, although it is held in Suzhou Mansion, it is far less than the last Jinling Conference. Although the popularity and influence of the Restoration Society were enhanced, many civil and military officials, sergeants, doctors, and school students all claimed to be Zhang Pu's disciples. However, it also made the members more focused on becoming officials, and some didn't care about such gatherings. ”

Li Zicheng showed a look of disappointment, and gave up his plan to go to Suzhou Mansion.

"By the way, after that, see Xiu, the rebel armies have left one after another, you must not only pay close attention to their movements, but also always keep vigilance against the officials and troops of the various state capitals in Shanxi. Especially Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, after these two people pacified the rebel army in Taiyuan Mansion, they faintly had the intention of going south. ”

"Well, Boss, we got it."

Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu glanced at each other, and both of them heard the importance in Li Zicheng's words. Of course, the two felt the same way.

In the blink of an eye, recalling the news he had gotten these days, Tian Jianxiu pondered slightly, and then said earnestly: "Boss, judging from the arrangements made by Shanxi Governor Xu Dingchen to Zhang Yingchang and Cao Wenzhao, the two of them are showing a trend of fighting between the east and the west, completely blocking the possibility of the rebel army returning to Shaanxi from Taiyuan Mansion or re-entering Jinan. ”

Moreover, the two of them used their troops very steadily this time, step by step. Instead of immediately sending troops to rescue and resolve the crisis as in the past, wherever there is an emergency. ”

"Steady? One step at a time? Li Zicheng silently recited these two sentences, turned to look at Tian Jianxiu, and asked, "Jianxiu, how do you say this?" ”

"Boss, it's like this, Zhang Yingchang and Cao Wenzhao are not only stationed in Fenzhou and Pingdingzhou, looking at their posture, but also have the intention of steadily moving south, from north to south, cooperating with Xu Dingchen and Zhang Zongheng, encircling and suppressing the rebel army step by step, until all the remaining rebel army is driven north of the Yellow River, at the junction of Henan and Shanxi."

As soon as Tian Jianxiu finished speaking, Li Guo immediately added: "Moreover, according to the report from our spies in the capital, the flying pigeon passed the book, Emperor Chongzhen not only sent a eunuch to Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Yingchang, Zuo Liangyu and Deng Xi as a supervising army, but also gave Cao Wenzhao military power, which could control the generals and listen to his command. In this way, the unity of Shanxi's officers and troops will be greater than before, their combat strength will soar, and their cooperation will be more tacit. ”

"Not only that, since Lu Xiangsheng joined the two thousand Tongzhou soldiers and two thousand sent to him by the imperial court, plus the troops of Liang Fu, the chief soldier of Baoding, he has tens of thousands of troops, and the Zhending Mansion and Shunde Mansion are impregnable. Even the high chieftain, Lao Huihui, and the King of Chaotian could only sigh with joy, and had to withdraw to Henan Weihui Mansion and prepare to attack Huixian Luwang Mansion again. ”

Li Zicheng's expression became solemn again, becoming more and more ugly.

At this moment, Li Zicheng knew very well in his heart that the reason why the situation was becoming more and more severe and more and more unfavorable to the rebel armies from all walks of life was that although the Jingshi encountered the siege of Huang Taiji and the rebellions in Shaanxi, Shaanxi and other places, it did not hit the Ming Dynasty hard, and the strength of the imperial court was far from being something that he could fight against as rebels.

Therefore, Li Zicheng has become even more firm in his own view, and will never easily pull up the banner of invention before Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan have not popularized the base areas, and the base areas have not yet fully developed, grown, and matured.

Taoguang and accumulating strength is the best policy, a smart move, to change the final outcome of Li Zicheng in history, and change the trend of history.

Li Zicheng clearly knows that today's various kinds of rebellion with all walks of life are just small fights, gnawing and shaking the foundation of the imperial court little by little, so that more people can sober up and join the ranks of the rebel army.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng just wanted to say something, but when he saw Tian Jianxiu, he sighed and said faintly: "Hey, boss, those leaders are really a little short-sighted, they don't see the general trend of Shanxi, how can it still be a happy land for the rebel army, a place for development and growth?" ”

Li Guo frowned, his expression became more and more solemn, and then he echoed: "Uncle, if this situation continues, your previous expectations and plans, if you want all the rebel army to enter the hinterland of Henan to develop and grow, it will not be realized. Moreover, the rebel army that remained in Shanxi was likely to be wiped out or severely damaged. Once the official army is pressed down like Mount Tai, at that time, even if the rebel armies from all walks of life want to cross the Yellow River in the south, it will be almost impossible. ”

Li Zicheng showed a wry smile, shook his head again and again, and replied helplessly: "What can be done about this?" Can't we tell all the news we heard to the other rebel leaders and explain why? ”

The look of helplessness disappeared, and Li Zicheng's gaze became firm.

"In this way, it is equivalent to completely exposing the intelligence system of our Li Jiajun, which not only causes panic within the rebel army, but also fears and alienates Li Jiajun. When the Li Jiajun is isolated, it may still become the target of the imperial court's key encirclement and suppression, and I will never allow this kind of thing to happen, even if it is ......"

Li Zicheng's words came to an abrupt end, but Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu had already heard the following content, even if all the rebel armies were wiped out, the boss would not make such a risk.

After all, the reason for that kind of result was completely caused by those leaders, and Li Jiajun was already benevolent and righteous, and he was worthy of his heart.
