More than half a month passed, and on the day of 9 March, a scuffle was being staged in Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, and Yihe Town between Suide Prefecture and Wubao.

At this time, Li Zicheng bravely rushed all the way to the front of Guo Tianxing, and said while fighting: "Guo Tianxing, we can't go on like this, the officers and soldiers occupy the home advantage, it is difficult for us to kill Yu Chongxiao in a crushing situation, we must lead him out and stay away from here, so as to kill him and eliminate this elite army of Yansui." ”

"Leader Li, just say it directly, what do you need me to do next, I will fully cooperate with the Mantian Star and the Chaotian Star." Guo Tianxing was still fighting hard, and replied loudly while fighting.

"Okay, that's easy, you and the Mantianxing and Chaotianxing fought and retreated, withdrew from the battlefield in turn, pretended to be invincible and fled, moved in the direction of Anding County, and then set up an ambush there. Then, I will lead Yu Chongxiao to that side, and if you kill from both sides, Yu Chongxiao will definitely be defeated. ”

"Okay, Leader Li, I'll go to find the Mantianxing and Chaotianxing, evacuate the battlefield one after another, rendezvous in Anding County, set up an ambush, and wait for you to lure Yu Chongxiao and destroy him in one fell swoop."

While speaking, the officers and soldiers around the two were slaughtered, and Guo Tianxing nodded to Li Zicheng, and then rode his horse and whipped away, heading straight in one direction.

Soon after, 50,000 to 70,000 rebel troops "fled" on the battlefield one after another, and only 40,000 Li Jiajun were still supporting and fighting to the death.

For a time, an illusion of stalemate was formed on the battlefield, and the Li Jiajun and the official army won and lost each other, and they could not hold each other.

After about half an hour, suddenly, the Li family's army was defeated, and fled in all directions in the direction of Anding County like a tide, with the shouts of the official army: "Rush~ Exterminate this bandit!" ”

The war horse galloped, Yu Chongxiao took the lead in rushing forward, leading the army to follow closely behind the Li Jiajun, constantly roaring and shouting, encouraging the generals.

......

In the evening, Li Jiajun appeared in Mizhi City, and the order was still there, without the slightest riot.

In a certain house, there are a large number of Li Jiajun guard posts, Li Zicheng is sitting in the study, quietly looking at the letters, at this time, Tian Jianxiu walked in from outside, followed by an official.

"Boss, the county order of Mizhi County has found it for you!"

"yes, got it." Li Zicheng responded, then looked at the official behind Tian Jianxiu, and said calmly: "Parents, please sit down, don't worry, Mizhi is my hometown after all, and I won't embarrass you." After all, rice fat still needs your treatment. ”

"Thank you...... Chief Xie Li...... The grace of not killing......" The county magistrate sat down tremblingly, lowered his head in fear, did not dare to look directly at Li Zicheng, and only sat half of his body, looking submissive.

"It's been eight years, eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I, Li Zicheng, haven't returned to my hometown once, and I'm really panicking. Since you are passing through your hometown, you must always have some indications. ”

After saying that, Li Zicheng looked at Tian Jianxiu and explained: "Take out some silver tomorrow and hand it over to this parent official, and repair the Confucian Temple in my hometown, which can be regarded as I have done something for my hometown." ”

"Yes, Boss!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zicheng looked at the county order again, and said in a low voice: "As long as you govern Mizhi County well and don't embarrass the villagers, you will have your own benefits in the future, not only will there be no Li Jiajun harassing Mizhi County, but your life will not be threatened by other rebel armies." Otherwise...... You know! ”

"It's... Be... Xia Guan knows... Xia Guan understands... The lower officials will definitely govern Mizhi County well, and they dare not embarrass the people. The county commander's body trembled, and he hurriedly reassured, so frightened that he buried his head deeper.

"Well, then you can go, I came to you for such a little thing."

Mizhi County Ling left, and he didn't dare to raise his head from beginning to end, but Tian Jianxiu stayed in the study and said calmly: "Boss, I just got the news, Houjin changed the name of the country to Qing, and Huang Taiji appointed himself as Chongde, I am afraid that the Tartars will harass the Ming Dynasty more frequently in the future, and there will be a masterpiece this year." ”

"Not bad~" Li Zicheng spit out two words, nodded slightly, showed a dignified expression, and continued: "Huang Taiji proclaimed himself the emperor and changed the name of the country to Qing, which is to clearly fight against the imperial court, and the future battles are bound to be more frequent." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zicheng paused, and said abruptly: "If Huang Taiji enters the fortress again this year, the chosen location should still be Shanxi, and I have notified them to let the various base areas in Shanxi prepare, once the Tartars appear near the base areas, they will be exterminated on the spot, and strive to be traceable." ”

"At the same time, urge the Henan base area to let Mr. Xu Xiake rush to make more gunpowder and artillery shells and secretly transport them to the Shanxi base area."

"Yes, Boss!" Tian Jianxiu agreed, seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned to say: "By the way, boss, according to the news from Jingshi, Shaanxi Governor Gan Xuekuo will be dismissed and will be replaced by Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chuanting will go to Shaanxi to take up his post in May at the latest." ”

Li Zicheng was silent, his face was calm, his heart turned up a shocking wave, and there was a trace of expectation and joy, once Sun Chuanting arrived in Shaanxi, the Qin army would be formed, and the end of Gao Yingxiang would not be far away, and he would replace him and become the new king.

"Boss, according to the news we got about Sun Chuanting, this person is really extraordinary, he is a pragmatic person, whether it is governing the local area or leading troops to fight, he is very set. Once we go to Shaanxi to take up our posts and join hands with Hong Chengchou, we will not be able to lead Hong Chengchou by the nose as we did a few days ago, fighting dozens of battles large and small, and almost all over Shaanxi, making him anxious and tired of coping. ”

"Yes, it's true, I've also heard of Sun Chuanting, this person is not simple." Li Zicheng came to his senses, responded, and then said in a deep voice: "Pay close attention to Sun Chuanting, once he goes to Shaanxi to take office, put some people to Sun Chuanting's side as much as possible, and closely monitor his every move." ”

"Yes, Boss!" Tian Jianxiu was stunned for a moment, and returned to normal in an instant, after responding, he didn't expect Li Zicheng to attach so much importance to Sun Chuanting, which is comparable to Lu Xiangsheng's attention.

"Okay, see Xiu, you go out, go and deal with the things explained, I need to think about it and think about the future direction of our Li Jiajun."

Tian Jianxiu left, Li Zicheng fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but have some information in his mind, although he said it in a speculative tone just now, he was very sure that Sun Chuanting had captured Gao Yingxiang alive in less than two months after taking office, and it was at this time that Huang Taiji led his troops into the customs again.

In the past two years, the base areas of Shanxi and Henan have become more and more mature, and the population of all the base areas together is at least 10 million, and Li Jiajun is about 1 million; as long as Li Zicheng wants to, he will be able to take the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan overnight, and firmly control them in his hands.

However, Li Zicheng knew that Li Jiajun had a congenital defect, and because the various base areas were independent of each other and far apart, there was some confusion in the areas controlled by Li Jiajun, and it was impossible to form a unified and effective command.

After all, there is not much contact between the various base areas, and each person in charge is not very familiar with each other, and they have always developed independently, except for the help of establishing the base area at the beginning.

Therefore, Li Zicheng needed a period of time to integrate all the base areas, so that the government decrees could be unimpeded, and an efficient and unified combat force would be formed.
