Gradually, as Li Zicheng spoke for a longer time, a boring atmosphere began to fill the hall, becoming more and more intense, and Zhang Xianzhong interrupted unceremoniously: "Li Zicheng, what you said is a cliché, and all the leaders here know it very well. This Xingyang conference is not to discuss how the rebel armies from all walks of life are doing, but how to deal with the heavy encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, and there will be no more scenes in the Carriage Gorge? ”

"Yes, General Li Chuang, if you have something to say, just say it, don't make these preludes." Guo Tianxing also spoke one after another, and his attitude and tone were much more polite.

For a while, the hall was quiet, and all eyes shifted at the same time, from Li Zicheng to Zhang Xianzhong, to Guo Tianxing, and finally back to Li Zicheng, with a look of anticipation.

"Okay, since that's the case, then Li will say it directly." Li Zicheng responded with a brilliant expression, his expression was a little unnatural, in order to hide the embarrassment of that moment, he immediately said: "My suggestion is to divide the troops and orient them, and attack in four directions." ”

As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, bursts of muttering sounded in the hall, and almost everyone's mouth was full of words.

"Divide the troops and orient them, and attack them in four directions...... Divide the troops and orient them, and attack them in four directions...... Divide the troops and orient them, and attack the ...... in four directions"

When everyone silently recited these eight words, Gao Yingxiang showed curiosity on his face, and asked softly: "Divide the troops and orient them, and attack in four directions...... Self-contained, can you elaborate on what exactly that means? ”

Gao Yingxiang paused, his eyes flickered, his gaze wandered around, he quickly glanced at everyone one by one, and at the same time continued: "Presumably, the leaders don't quite understand the meaning of these eight words. ”

"Uncle, leaders, what I mean is very simple, that is, to divide the rebel armies into four routes and attack the city in four different directions, instead of almost all the rebel armies gathered in Henan as it is now."

In this way, it was convenient for the imperial court to suppress it, mobilize heavy troops, assemble to Henan, and pursue and kill the rebels from all directions. As long as the rebel armies from all walks of life do not gather together, the imperial court has no choice but to fight fires everywhere. ”

Moreover, Li believes that all the people here are from poor backgrounds, and the reason why they rebelled is nothing more than to survive and stutter. If anyone wants our lives, we will fight with them, one husband and one wife, and there are 100,000 people! ”

In an instant, everyone was ignited by Li Zicheng's last sentence, and an inexplicable surging meaning appeared in their hearts, and they responded one after another, Luo Rucai immediately stood up, and echoed very heroically: "Yes, when Hong Chengchou is still quelling the Xining Rebellion and has not yet entered the customs, we must give full play to our own advantages, spread out as much as possible, and conquer the city in different directions." ”

Guo Tianxing nodded lightly, and then echoed: "Yes, while the main force of the official army is mainly concentrated in the north, we should develop to the south, directly attack the weak points of the imperial court's defense, and further develop and grow!" ”

Gao Yingxiang stood up one after another, put on a rather instructive posture, his eyes shimmered, his face was full of excitement, the volume was louder, and he said loudly: "Since ancient times, places such as Jiangnan and Jianghuai have been rich in grain. As long as we hit Jiangnan, there will be no shortage of rice and grain to eat. When the time comes, no matter how many troops are developed, you will be able to raise many people. ”

Lao Huihui also stood up and responded to everyone's words, just like that, he couldn't wait to end the conference immediately and act quickly.

"Yes, because Huang Taiji has just invaded Shanxi, most of the imperial court's troops have been pinned down in the Ningxia Sanwei area of Liaodong, Shanxi and Shaanxi, resulting in the emptiness of troops in the Central Plains and Jiangnan and other places, and only the city defense battalion responsible for the city defense remains, and the strength of the troops is different, and the maximum is only two or three thousand. With the right strategy and the right methods, you can easily break through some cities. ”

......

After some impassioned speeches, in a warm atmosphere, everyone began to make suggestions and discuss who was in a group with whom and which general direction to attack.

Of course, whether it is grouping or choosing the direction of attack, the consensus formed is just a consensus, and it is not binding, but it is just a manifestation of huddling together to keep warm when the situation is difficult.

This conversation, this discussion, under the sprinkles, the Xingyang Conference was held for several days at once, and it was still a pleasure, a short time, and a little hasty.

On this day, when the rebel armies from all walks of life were about to leave, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang invited Zhang Xianzhong over, and the three of them sat in the study, Li Zicheng was even more straight to the point and meaningful: "Leader Zhang, we all chose to march to the southeast direction, preparing to enter Nanzhili, Li is ready to attack Fengyang with his uncle, I don't know what Leader Zhang's plan is?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong was shocked and had a bad feeling, but on the surface, he still maintained a calm look, pretending to be calm and asked instead of answering: "Oh... Leader Li and Leader Gao are preparing to attack Fengyang Mansion? However, as far as I know, Fengyang Mansion is just a small place, there is no granary, and it is not a place where the powerful gather, how can the two of them remember to attack where? Even if there is an imperial mausoleum, it is only Zhu Yuanzhang's parents, not the emperor's mausoleum. ”

Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang glanced at each other, their four eyes flickered, there was a trace of inexplicable light, the former smiled "hehe", showing disapproval, and then said: "Leader Zhang, this is a bad word, Fengyang Mansion is not a small place. ”

"Although it did not have a large number of powerful people, it was the ancestral tomb of the royal family. Since ancient times, the emperors of all dynasties, as far as Li knows, whether it is the emperor's own mausoleum or their ancestral tomb, there is an amazing fortune buried there. ”

Zhang Xianzhong "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly said "not good", the bad premonition became stronger and stronger, his expression could no longer remain calm, his brows were slightly furrowed, but he still did not let go: "Leader Gao, Leader Li, the two of you called me here, shouldn't you let Zhang listen to these words?" ”

"Hey, hey... Leader Zhang, you must have guessed something? Li Zicheng smiled indifferently, showing extreme confidence, and asked abruptly: "Chief Zhang, my uncle and I want to invite you, the Eight Great Kings, to attack Fengyang Mansion together." Once Fengyang Mansion is captured, when the time comes, the money will be divided equally, how about it? Leader Zhang, what do you think? ”

After the words fell, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang looked at Zhang Xianzhong directly, with deep meaning on their faces, smiling silently, their eyes unblinking, observing the other party's reaction, waiting for the next answer, with a look of "whether you agree or not, we will attack Fengyang".

At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong's expression was ugly, as if a good thing had been broken, and he did not answer immediately, but asked unkindly: "The two leaders are really scheming, they must have already gotten the news and know that I, Zhang Xianzhong, are preparing to attack Fengyang Mansion?" ”

Although it was a question, it was more like talking to himself, it seemed that Zhang Xianzhong did not expect the two of them to be able to answer his inquiry, his expression changed suddenly, but he became more relaxed, sighed, and said happily: "Okay, regardless of whether the two of you got the news in advance, Zhang also agreed, let's attack Fengyang Mansion together, and when the time comes, we will share the money equally." ”

"Hehe... Leader Zhang, that's right, one more person is one more strength. Gao Yingxiang laughed, showed a satisfied look, twisted his beard, and said: "What's more, Gao and Zicheng are not just two people, there are fifty or sixty thousand people together. ”
