Chapter 340: Bait
On this day in August, Shigu and Zhao Village in Liquan County were stationed with 70,000 elite cavalry troops of Li Jiajun and Gao Yingxiang respectively, and they were fighting each other.
Between offense and defense, you can be horns of each other and support each other.
At this moment, in Gao Yingxiang's camp, there were many leaders of the rebel army, and everyone sat there casually, enjoying wine and food, and even more talking.
"Leaders, I think I can't stay in Shaanxi any longer. In today's Shaanxi, there are many soldiers and few people, and many people follow us to rebel, conquer the city, and sometimes encounter natural disasters, and the grain of the autumn harvest is far from being able to feed so many people. ”
"The king of the word is right, today's Shaanxi, everywhere large and small rebels, countless, to find rations, it is already very difficult, in this case, it is better to make plans as soon as possible, find another way out. Otherwise, we will have to end up in the same fate as the officers and soldiers, starving and fighting. ”
"I agree that we should plan now. Moreover, the sooner we leave, the better, the better it will be for us. I haven't returned to Shaanxi for many years, and almost all the mountains, large and small, are occupied by bandits, and there is no hiding place for us at all. Once the imperial court is heavily pressed and suddenly attacks, we don't even have a cover to evacuate. ”
......
For a while, the discussion was in full swing, so it was not lively, but Li Zicheng sat there honestly, without saying a word, Gu Junen on the side leaned closer, and whispered in his ear: "Boss, this is obvious, before we came, they had already reached a consensus, and they secretly discussed it, and asked us to come over, but it was just a prelude first, so that we could accept the arrangement." ”
Li Zicheng's expression was as usual, and he didn't respond to anything, but waved his hand, signaling Gu Junen not to speak first, but he took a deep look at Gao Yingxiang, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and was in a good mood!
Not long after, Li Zicheng left the big tent and returned to his camp, and immediately called a group of people, Gu Junen couldn't wait to ask: "Boss, so many rebel troops are preparing to leave Shaanxi and enter Henan again, what should we do next?" Is it to go to Henan? Or don't leave for a while? Or somewhere else? ”
Obviously, everyone already knew the content of the meeting just now, and as soon as Gu Junen finished asking, they all looked at Li Zicheng with the same affection.
"Let's not be in a hurry, let the other rebel armies explore the way in front first, and see what the situation in Henan is, anyway, we have no food and grass in danger. Moreover, if we leave, before leaving Shaanxi, even if we can't kill Hong Chengchou, we will have to cut off his right-hand man again and consolidate our control over Shaanxi. ”
"But, boss, so many rebel troops have poured into Henan at once, and I'm worried that it will affect Li Xin's actions." Gu Junen blurted out, full of worry, and said further: "Compared with the base areas in Shanxi and Shaanxi, the base areas in Henan developed a little later, and there are still some mountain ranges that have not yet been occupied. ”
Without waiting for Li Zicheng to respond, Tian Jianxiu stood up at this time and interjected: "No, it's not that simple, although the high leaders are numerous and powerful, with hundreds of thousands of troops, Lu Xiangsheng in Henan is not so easy to deal with, and he is definitely a newly rising and difficult person to deal with." ”
"Moreover, the news from the capital that Lu Xiangsheng will be appointed as the governor of the five provinces, the prime minister Jiangbei, Henan, Huguang, Sichuan, and Shandong are in charge of the affairs of the Central Plains, and Hong Chengchou is in charge of the northwest, and the two cooperate with each other and echo each other from afar."
"The most important thing is that since Dolgon, Hauge, Sakha and other Tartar troops were ambushed and killed by Captain Li, the imperial court seems to have relaxed its vigilance, and once again put its focus on encircling and suppressing the rebel armies from all walks of life, and transferred out the Guanning Iron Cavalry, with Zu Kuan, Zu Dale, Li Chongzhen and other Liaodong generals as Lu Xiangsheng's deputy. Once the high leaders enter Henan, they will inevitably suffer a big loss. ”
It has to be said that once this deployment is completed and the appointment is made, the situation of the rebel army will change and deteriorate.
Whether it is Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng, neither of them is easy, and they are both good at encircling and suppressing the rebel army.
The latter, in particular, is a greater threat to the rebels!
As soon as they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but take a deep look at Li Zicheng, revealing a sudden expression, no wonder the boss made such a decision not to enter Henan again with the rest of the rebel army.
In contrast, with hundreds of thousands of rebel troops left at once, Li Jiajun had more room to play, even if there was no supply of grain and grass in the base area, he could find rations.
The most important thing is that Shaanxi is much safer, no matter how much Hong Chengchou can fight well, no matter how good he is at coordinating all parties, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, without food, he can't do anything, what can he do to confront Li Jiajun?
At this time, Shaanxi has become the back garden of Li Jiajun, almost every mountain range has Li Jiajun's base, all over Shaanxi, no matter where Hong Chengchou transfers grain and grass, it will be robbed by the nearby Li Jiajun.
Therefore, at this moment, although everyone did not say it, they also tacitly reached a consensus that after many years, Hong Chengchou will be forced out of Shaanxi, and Shaanxi will have no place for him to play.
When these thoughts appeared in everyone's minds, Li Zicheng's expression suddenly collapsed, his face sank like water, the light in his eyes flickered, and the cold glow flowed, and he turned to look at Tian Jianxiu, and asked in a deep voice: "Jianxiu, how is Gao Jie and that slut?" Is there any movement? ”
In an instant, the atmosphere in the big tent was stagnant, as if the air was frozen, it became extremely dignified and depressed, everyone's expressions were ugly, very unnatural, Tian Jianxiu replied hesitantly: "Boss, these days, the two of them have been acting very abnormally, frequently exploring the terrain in this area, and they have been in contact with the officers and soldiers at night, it seems that in a few days, they will defect and join the officers and soldiers." ”
Everyone held their breath and stared, and they didn't dare to take a breath, let alone interject, after all, for a man, the most embarrassing thing is to be cuckolded, and moreover, he is his own subordinate.
"Good.. Good... What a J husband and Y wife, it's really a good calculation, and she wants to elope! Li Zicheng showed a sneer, the frost on his face was more solemn, he suppressed the anger in his chest, and said quietly: "Monitor them closely, and don't startle the snake, once that slut elopes with Gao Jie, you will follow from behind with a Li family army, no matter who defects, you will take the opportunity to take the corresponding city, and at the same time kill the two on the spot, you must see the corpse!" ”
The cold words, the cold flashes, and the faint words not only let everyone know that Li Zicheng's heart was very angry, but also realized that the boss did not lose his mind because of the two of them, and knew one thing very well, if those two defected to the official army, the foundation of the Li family army would be fully revealed, and then there would be a stormy disaster, which would be suppressed by the imperial court!
Before this, everyone was still puzzled, since they already knew about the fornication of the two and had the intention of defecting to the official army, why not kill them directly? Why wait until now?
Now everyone knows that the boss is holding back his anger and catching a big fish, and those two are extremely tempting bait!
