At this moment, there was something strange in the atmosphere, and the opposition was no longer so strong. Even if it was Gao Yigong, he didn't say anything at this time, don't pay attention to Gao Yingxiang's request for help, this old thief asked for himself, it was his retribution.

The reason why everyone's reaction is like this, everyone clearly remembers that the boss has been emphasizing one thing, not to make too much trouble with the various rebel armies, if you can, you can help. Even if you can't afford to support, do your best.

Of course, everyone was not forced by Li Zicheng to implement this policy, but deeply agreed that once the other rebel armies surrendered or died, then Li Jiajun's army was not far from that day.

After all, it's hard to scream alone!

"Okay, that's it."

Li Zicheng said something quietly, seeing Gao Yigong's lips squirming, he wanted to say something, he immediately stopped it with his eyes, and then explained to everyone: "To tell the truth, so far, even me, I haven't forgotten King Chuang's various suppressions of our Li Jiajun. However, the situation dictates that we cannot turn a blind eye and let it go. ”

Li Zicheng's tone paused, his face showed sincerity, and his voice immediately raised a few points.

"As Captain Tian said, even if we disregard the safety of King Chuang, we don't care whether he lives or dies. Even if we cross the Yellow River safely now, we will further develop and grow in Kaifeng and other places. However, once the rebel armies of Shanxi are gone, the officers and troops will definitely free up their hands and turn back against us. If at that time, without the strategy and containment of other rebel armies, we will face the heavy encirclement and suppression of the official army like Mount Tai. ”

At this time, Li Guo stood up and said loudly: "Boss, you don't have to explain anything, you are the leader." Whatever your command is, we will do it! ”

"Yes, yes, Captain Li is right, boss, you just give the order, and we will definitely do it." The others chimed in, looking serious.

Li Zicheng showed a look of satisfaction, nodded slightly imperceptibly, and then said sonorously: "Tian Jianxiu, Gao Yigong, Li Guo, the three of you follow me and lead six thousand men and horses back to Shanxi to rescue King Chuang." The rest of the people, at nightfall, went to the Yellow River wharf in Wuzhi County to meet Mr. Xu. ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Tian Jianxiu hurriedly said: "Boss, no!" Support King Chuang, I have no objection. But you can't take risks lightly! Returning to Shanxi this time is no less than entering the Longtan Tiger's Den, so don't go. As for the siege of the king as soon as he is relieved, he will leave it to me and Li Guo, and you will never be disappointed. ”

Suddenly, the others reacted one after another, realized the seriousness of the matter, and persuaded one after another.

"Yes, boss, today's Shanxi is no less than the Longtan Tiger's Den, gathering many famous generals from the imperial court, and the strength of the official army is more than 30,000, and the minimum number of troops led by each famous general is more than 3,000 people. Moreover, the imperial court also drew troops from the surrounding areas to continuously support Shanxi and suppress the rebels from all walks of life! ”

"Yes, boss, you have to think twice, you can't be rash, you have the hope of all the Li Jiajun on your body!"

"Also, my sister-in-law is pregnant, you can't easily get into danger, and we don't have no one to send here?"

......

However, no matter how everyone persuaded him, Li Zicheng always smiled and did not have the slightest intention of compromise. After everyone finished speaking, Li Zicheng said concludingly: "Okay, you don't have to persuade me." The reason why I went to Shanxi must be that I have to go. ”

Although Li Zicheng said very lightly, it was extraordinarily powerful, and no one was rambling about anything, all of them were stunned, speechless, and didn't know what to say?

For a moment, there was some stiffness in the atmosphere.

"Okay, let's all go down, prepare well, we will evacuate Huaiqing City tonight." Li Zicheng waved his hand, sent everyone away, and said.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Li Zicheng stopped Tian Jianxiu, and when there were only two people in the big tent, then in Tian Jianxiu's puzzled gaze, he said solemnly: "Jianxiu, presumably so far, you still don't understand, why do I have to personally lead the army to Shanxi to rescue King Chuang?" ”

Tian Jianxiu nodded, and didn't say much, he believed that since the boss took the initiative to put it forward, he would definitely explain the reason, so he waited honestly, without losing the performance that a smart person should have.

"Of course, the reason why I did that was definitely not out of that little cheap family affection." Li Zicheng said so sarcastically, and then said: "Jianxiu, you should know that when we were repairing Wucheng, we discussed the establishment of a base in Henan. ”

At this moment, suddenly, seeing Li Zicheng's deep meaning, a bright light flashed in Tian Jianxiu's mind, and he reacted, but he still answered uncertainly: "Boss, do you mean that this trip to Shanxi is not only to rescue King Chuang, but also to establish a base in Wangwu Mountain or Taihang Mountain?" ”

"Yes, you guessed it right, that's what I meant." Li Zicheng nodded lightly and showed a happy smile.

As he spoke, Tian Jianxiu's brain was running rapidly, thinking about the pros and cons of establishing a base in Wangwu Mountain or Taihang Mountain. Needless to say, the advantages are even more obvious, located at the junction of the three provinces, and the imperial court focused on the encirclement and suppression of the Shanxi rebel army, the danger can be imagined.

"Boss, at this time, within Shanxi, all forces are competing with each other, intensifying, and there is a trend of development to Henan, is it too risky for us to establish a base in Taihang Mountain or Wangwu Mountain now?"

However, it was Li Zicheng who shook his head and said again and again: "No, no, no, see Xiu." Although Shanxi is very chaotic, there are armies fighting everywhere, either official troops or rebel armies from all walks of life. However, their main battlefield is mostly between towns and cities, competing for resources, that is, grabbing food. Therefore, as long as we act carefully, in Wangwu Mountain and Taihang Mountain, or other mountain ranges, the danger is not so high. ”

"But, boss, after all, there are many people, and it is difficult to ensure the secrecy of our base area. Once discovered, if we think of the base area in Shaanxi, our long-standing policy will be in vain. Is it really worth the risk? ”

After this reminder, it was impossible for Li Zicheng not to think about it, and after a while, he still insisted on saying: "The base area must be built." However, we must change the way and try our best not to let the Shanxi base area have too much contact with the Shaanxi base area. In this way, even if someone discovers the existence of the base area, it will not affect the existence of the Shaanxi base area. ”

"Moreover, the base area established in Shanxi can follow the practice of the Shaanxi base area, and once it is discovered, it will be declared to the outside world that it is a green forest that occupies the mountain as the king. Even if someone doubts, doesn't believe, and has no evidence, whether it is the imperial court or other rebel armies, it is not good to say anything. ”

Tian Jianxiu nodded frequently when he heard this, and further added: "If it is in the name of occupying the mountain as the king, it is completely different from the rebel army, and the imperial court will also place the base area at the end of the encirclement and suppression. The most important thing is that with the base area, after the siege of the city, the food and silver we obtained will also have a place to be placed. ”

......

As soon as you say a word, the two of them will discuss the matter of establishing a base area, and Li Zicheng finally said in a concluding manner: "See Xiu, the matter of establishing a base area will be done according to what we say." When the time comes, I will send 2,000 troops to help you establish a base. ”

Early the next morning, in the post house in Huaiqing City, Zuo Liangyu was still asleep, and suddenly, the door slammed, Zuo Liangyu was awakened suddenly, got up stubbornly, sat on the bed, looked up at the door, just wanted to go down, but saw his son hurriedly walked in, with a happy face.

"Meng Geng, what's going on? You still can't get rid of your frizzy problem, you don't look like a deputy general at all. Zuo Liangyu's movements froze, and he sat back again, saying like this.

"Father, go to the East City Gate to take a look, the rebellious army led by Li Zicheng has retreated. Overnight, all of a sudden, it was all gone. ”

Zuo Mengeng's heart was full of excitement, how could he still care about his father's reproach, when he thought of the retreat of the chaotic army, he couldn't help urging his father.

Zuo Liangyu just froze for a moment, reacted instantly, and hurriedly put on his shirt and pants and armor, and went to the east gate of Huaiqing City.

At the east gate of Huaiqing City, above the city gate tower, Zuo Liangyu climbed high and looked at the camp left by the rebel army a few hundred meters away, the fire was still smoking, and there were scarecrows next to it horizontally or vertically.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but sigh and said softly: "Meng Geng, this Li family army led by Li Zicheng is not simple. Far different from other rabblebles such as rebellious armies, they are brave and strategic, and the troops advance and retreat in a measured manner, and they also know how to set up suspicious formations to confuse the patrol officers and soldiers on the city wall. ”
