In the area of Yunyang Mansion in Huguang, in a certain county seat, the Li family army was entrenched here, and the rebel armies from all walks of life met again, and they were holding a meeting in a magnificent hall, and the atmosphere was extremely tense and dignified.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, the imperial court has set up the post of governor of five provinces, and the first one is the little-known Chen Qiyu. Although I have never fought with this person, I have not heard much of it, but judging from the current situation, officials and troops from all over the country have been pouring into our area, and the situation is not optimistic. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zicheng looked around with burning eyes, looked at everyone, and then said earnestly: "If you continue to stay here and gather in Yunyang Mansion, it will be tantamount to giving the officials and troops an opportunity to surround us all at the junction of Huguang and Henan and Sichuan, so as to catch them all in one battle and finish it all in one battle." ”

At this time, Luo Rucai, known as "Cao Cao", stood up and echoed loudly: "What General Chuang said is right, everyone can't sit here anymore." Although the imperial court was empty in the Huguang area, some towns were very easy to attack. However, the place is so big that it can't feed so many people at all. Some towns have already been plundered, and it is not interesting to stay any longer and capture them again, and it is not worth continuing to venture here. ”

Gao Yingxiang was not to be left behind, and spoke one after another: "Leaders, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Not only did Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, and the governor of Henan rush to our side, but the governor of Shaanxi, Lian Guoshi, led the army all the way to the south, gradually approaching here. Plus a Yunyang governor Jiang Yunyi is here, resisting us, doing the defense of the trapped beasts, delaying our actions, if we delay any longer, stay here, the situation will become more and more unoptimistic~! ”

For a time, a picture was formed in everyone's minds, there were three groups of officers and troops surrounded from the northwest, northeast, and southeast, and there were Qin Liangyu's white-pole soldiers in the southwest, and Chen soldiers were in eastern Sichuan.

The trend of encirclement has begun to sprout, and the outline is becoming more and more obvious!

As soon as they thought of this, thinking of these, everyone couldn't help but think of Chen Qiyu, who was worthy of being the first governor of the five provinces, and he was really generous enough, and before he arrived, he was ambitious to annihilate all the rebels in one fell swoop!

At the same time, everyone also remembered a sentence, since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, once the imperial court mobilized, gathered all the resources of various places, and coordinated them together, it was far from what they could confront head-on.

"Hey, don't look at me, everybody."

As soon as he saw everyone's eyes on him again, Li Zicheng waved his hand again and again, as if everything had nothing to do with him, and even looked at Gao Yingxiang, and said loudly: "Regarding this concern, it is not the first thing that comes to mind, but King Chuang was the first to find out, and asked me to call you here, and everyone will discuss this matter together." If you don't believe me, you can ask your uncle. ”

"Yes, leaders, it was Gao who instructed him to call everyone here to discuss this matter." Gao Yingxiang went straight over, with a solemn and sincere look on his face, without a little embarrassment, and further explained: "I think everyone also knows that a few days ago, Gao attacked Guangyuan in Baoning Mansion, Sichuan, and was blocked by Qin Liangyu, which can be described as a heavy loss, and he had to use the Li Jiajun to summon the message to you. ”

However, with Gao Yingxiang's explanation, there was no sense of relaxation and abruptness in the hall, but a strange atmosphere was permeating, and some people's eyes were looking back and forth between Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, wandering.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang suddenly caught it sensitively, and immediately realized it, and their faces showed embarrassment, which seemed very unnatural.

Of course, the two of them read everyone's gaze, why is it so weird? Why do you keep looking between yourself and Li Zicheng?

Obviously, all the leaders thought of some things a few days ago, and the two of them did not say hello and entered Sichuan directly, which was a siege of the city, leaving the Li family army in Yunyang Mansion to fight alone.

Fortunately, the troops in Huguang were empty, and some garrisons had already been defeated and fragmented, which could be used for defense, so that Li Jiajun did not cause excessive casualties.

Now that his uncle and nephew are singing and harmonizing, they are together again, Li Zicheng actually shows no care, as if it has never happened, how can he not arouse the suspicion in the hearts of the leaders and secretly surprise?

Zhang Xianzhong doesn't care, after all, the two have nothing to do with each other, no matter how much they renegade the covenant, no matter how they stumble, they can understand it.

However, Gao Yingxiang is different, he has targeted Li Jiajun three or four times, and even wants to annex some of his Li Zicheng's squads, but Li Zicheng can be indifferent, calmly, and the relationship is still the same as before, so it has to arouse everyone's speculation.

At the same time, everyone appreciates Li Zicheng's bearing more and more, and he is broad-minded!

"Uncle, why didn't you say it?"

In this silent and different atmosphere, Li Zicheng smiled freely, broke the strange atmosphere in a loud voice, and continued to remind: "Uncle, didn't you say it before the meeting? Do you have a good solution to the current situation, the increasingly disadvantaged situation? ”

"Yes, yes, how did I forget about this stubble? Unconsciously, he was stunned......" Gao Yingxiang's facial expression was a little stiff, and he responded unnaturally, and then continued: "Leaders, in Gao's humble opinion, if we want to break the current unfavorable situation, we must give full play to the advantages of mobile warfare, fight separately, and attack many county towns in Sichuan, Huguang, Henan and Shaanxi. ”

"Of course, in the process of action, there must be corresponding priorities, in order to contain the officers and troops to the greatest extent, so that they cannot form a situation of encirclement. Even if we can't break this encirclement, we must slow down the progress of the encirclement as much as possible to buy more time for the rebels to break through. ”

"Then, Leader Gao, which county towns do you think we should attack first in order to hold back more officers and troops to the greatest extent?" Zhang Miaoshou asked at the right time, interjected and asked, with a serious expression on his face.

"Henan, of course!" Gao Yingxiang blurted out without hesitation, spit out five words, and then his expression froze, his face showed a solemn expression, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course, the key soldiers who committed Henan do not mean that all the rebel armies have entered Henan. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yingxiang's words suddenly stagnated, stopped, set his eyes on Li Zicheng's body, and said loudly: "Zicheng, you can show the map of this area and let the leaders take a look." ”

"Yes, uncle!"

Obviously, Li Zicheng had been prepared, and after responding, he immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms, quickly unfolded it, and nailed it to the wall of the upper hall.

At the same time, Gao Yingxiang had already stood up, came to the other side of the map, and while his right hand was gesturing and pointing on it, he calmly said aloud: "Leaders, please see, in Gao's view, while the main force of the official army has not yet arrived, our five major battalions can divide into three routes, all the way to the south to attack Jinqiping, cross the river to attack Shangnan; The second route marched northeast to attack Yunyang in preparation for the capture of Xichuan again; The third road went east, invaded Junzhou, and went to Henan ......"

In the process of Gao Yingxiang's slow narration, everyone listened very carefully, and while nodding frequently, they saw the ink on the map that had not dried, which strengthened their guesses in their hearts.

What is Gao Yingxiang's humble opinion?

It's all bullshit, the two are still singing double reeds, the leader of them is still Li Zicheng, who is responsible for all kinds of plans, Gao Yingxiang is just moving his mouth again and picking up ready-made.

The reason why this was done, everyone already roughly understood something, and probably guessed the reason, Li Zicheng wanted to completely establish Gao Yingxiang's status and prestige second to none in the rebel army.

Once the leader of the alliance is elected again in the future, no one can compete with him!
