On the night of the second day, in the camp, the area where Li Zicheng and the others were located. In the simple tent, under the faint dim light, Li Zicheng talked quietly with Liu Fangliang, Wu Ruyi, and Yuan Zong.

"When you act the day after tomorrow, the three of you must act according to the plan. According to past experience, according to the previous method, 300 men could easily capture a city gate, and it was no problem to hold out for a moment and a half. ”

"But, boss, do you trust Zhang Cunmeng so much? Even if he really had the intention of capturing Qinzhou City, if he had ulterior motives and delayed the time for sending troops for a while, the casualties of his brothers would increase, and he couldn't blame them for anything? Wu Ruyi's face was full of melancholy.

"yes, Boss. If Zhang Cunmeng thinks a little carefully, even if Qinzhou City is finally conquered, there are not many of our brothers left, and the formation of the Panzuka Mountain base will be delayed for a long time. Boss, isn't it too risky to cooperate with Zhang Cunmeng like this? Yuan Zongdi put forward the meaning, and looked at Li Zicheng sincerely, hoping that the other party would think about it carefully.

At this moment, Liu Fangliang's face was filled with righteous indignation, and he said angrily: "Zhang Cunmeng is really a villain, he was polite to us at first, but it has only been more than a day, and he has been yelling at our brothers, commanding and commanding, all of them look at people with their nostrils and talk to people. Especially for the boss, he really became a pawn under him. ”

"You three rest assured~!" Li Zicheng nodded, agreed, and said: "Regarding whether Zhang Cunmeng is doing anything and thinking carefully, I have already thought of it and have a countermeasure. ”

After another explanation, the three of them calmed down, Li Zicheng seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, select an elf person from among the brothers who will be mixed into Qinzhou City tomorrow, let him quickly rush back to the base of Panzuka Mountain, and inform Ma Xin to act early and ambush around the salt field." Once our side moves and attacks Qinzhou City, the officers and troops on the other side of the salt field will definitely send troops to rescue. When the time comes, it will be the best time for them to act and take the salt field in one fell swoop. ”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Liu Fangliang was excited, and couldn't help but compliment: "Boss, your trick is really wonderful!" Once Qinzhou City is lost, a wolf smoke signal for help is issued, and even if the Ming army in Yanchang is not dispatched, there will not be many garrisons left. When the time comes, when Zhang Cunmeng's old man reacts and wants to send troops to take the salt field, it will be too late, Ma Xin and they will have already pulled all the salt inside, and they will not even leave them a single bird feather! ”

......

At the same time, Zhang Cunmeng's camp also gathered a lot of heads, all of whom were Zhang Cunmeng's henchmen. Seeing Zhang Cunmeng sitting upright with his heart full of concern, someone reminded: "Chief, on the day Li Zicheng defected to you, he was talking about us attacking Qinzhou City, there wouldn't be any sinister intentions, right?" Don't be careful~! ”

"Yes, chief, Li Zicheng said that there are only three hundred men left under his command. However, these are all his side words, and there is no evidence to prove it. If it's true, it's fine, but if it's fake, it's serious. On the day of the attack on Qinzhou City, once the city is breached, we have just eliminated the officials and troops in the city, if Li Zicheng's men emerge with one or two thousand people, all of them are his three hundred weapons and equipment, after the war, we will not only lose many troops, most of them are already tired, it is difficult to be their opponents, and it is easy to be cut off by them. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a boulder falling into a waterhole without waves in ancient water, rolling up waves and flowers, causing everyone's hearts to tremble, Zhang Cunmeng had an obvious reaction, frowned, fell into deep thought, and was silent for a long time.

"Moreover, chief, even what Li Zicheng said is true. However, in less than a year, Li Zicheng can be said to have become prosperous and famous. In the face of many encirclements and suppressions by the imperial court, he was always spared and turned the danger into a disaster. Retreat calmly and protect yourself. The most important thing is that Li Zicheng and his Li Jiajun have accumulated a very high reputation, which is well known and admired by the people of Shaanxi. ”

"If he wants to recruit soldiers and expand his troops, those people who have benefited from Li Zicheng will definitely come to vote. As long as he wants, how can there be only such a small number of people? However, the leader, Li Zicheng just defected to you, and there are only three hundred people, which is too suspicious. For the safety of you and your brothers, you must be on guard? ”

At this moment, Zhang Cunmeng was a little moved, his chest swelled, he seemed to understand something, and he had a countermeasure, and then said in a deep voice: "When the day after tomorrow moves, once Li Zicheng occupies the south city gate, we will immediately send troops to cooperate with their actions." ”

After saying this, Zhang Cunmeng's eyebrows flashed with a relaxed color, and the corners of his mouth were slightly outlined, as if he was proud of his classics.

He was stunned and puzzled, and immediately asked, "Leader, didn't we talk about it?" Let Li Zicheng and them capture the south gate first, and when the fight is almost over, the brothers will rush up again, take their place, and control the south gate. ”

Zhang Cunmeng just had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, smiling silently, looking unfathomable. A dog-legged henchman seemed to understand Zhang Cunmeng's intentions, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "What do you know? The reason why the leader did this was to quickly control the south gate. As long as the south gate is in our hands, the brothers will completely enter Qinzhou City, and then close the city gate tightly, and entrust heavy troops to guard it, no matter whether Li Zicheng has other thoughts or not, whether there is any conspiracy, Qinzhou City has also fallen into our hands, what are you afraid of? ”

"Yes, that's what it means." Zhang Cunmeng spoke casually, but his tone was very confident. Immediately afterwards, his expression narrowed, and he said solemnly: "Moreover, in a few months, after the official army drives Huang Taiji out of the customs, he will be involved in the restart." When the time comes, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely free his hands and send heavy troops into Shaanxi to encircle and suppress the rebel armies from all walks of life. If we don't increase our strength and replenish our weapons for our brothers, we will be very passive in the face of the suppression and encirclement of the official army. ”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and some people suddenly said, "Oh... So that's the case, no wonder when Li Zicheng proposed to attack Qinzhou City, the leader didn't doubt whether he had ill intentions at all, and wanted to take Qinzhou City, in order to get those weapons and war horses in the city, as well as the mountains of grain. ”

"Yes, if we capture Qinzhou City, aside from the food and silver in the city, just talking about the war horses and weapons in the city is enough to raise our strength by several levels, and we can rank among the top few rebel armies." One of them echoed.

At this time, Zhang Cunmeng's expression suddenly turned cold, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said faintly: "After Li Zicheng captures the South City Gate, I will immediately lead troops to support." After attacking the city, I will take Li Zicheng and his Li family army with me, so that they will not have the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain. But if they don't know how to lift up, they take advantage of the chaos to clean them up. Anyway, under the chaos army, anything can happen? How much more so in the midst of such a fierce siege battle? ”

Immediately, everyone completely understood that the leader wanted to control the Li family's army, and would never let Li Zicheng and others go until he completely occupied Qinzhou City and confirmed that there was no danger. The reason why the thunderous method was not adopted was because he was afraid of other rebel armies, especially Gao Yingxiang's one!

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, whether Li Zicheng is really Gao Yingxiang's nephew. However, Zhang Cunmeng had to be taboo at the beginning of the rebellion of the rebel armies from all walks of life, not only in the name of official coercion and civil rebellion, but also claimed to belong to Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong's branches, and the two bees were the general leaders.

Otherwise, they will be attacked by other rebel armies!
