Chapter 70: Soldiers Coming to the City (This chapter is for me just passing by to see)
I don't know what the cavalry commanders said, Li Zicheng's face became more and more ugly. The red lady frowned, she had a clear conscience in doing things, but she was also calm. Li Yan, who was not far away, was sad, and an inexplicable crisis was born in his heart.
The cavalry commanders smiled coldly at the red lady, their eyes ill-intentioned.
These cavalry commanders have long been dissatisfied with the Red Lady, and as big men, no one wants a woman to be pressed on their heads.
However, Li Yan, the husband of the red lady, is the first military division under Li Zicheng's name, and over the years, Li Zicheng's southern and northern wars have all relied on Li Yan's advice, which shows how extraordinary Li Yan's status is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one person is above ten thousand people. In addition, the red lady does have the ability, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is unparalleled in riding and shooting, so although these cavalry commanders are not convinced, they have to endure it. This time, they finally saw a chance to look up.
Because, just now, they passed by Chongzhen.
It stands to reason that the red lady did the right thing. Previously, the cavalry battalion had suffered heavy losses from those strange ground fire mines. It is reasonable for the red lady to march cautiously. However, things are sometimes not divided according to simple right and wrong. It's about prioritization.
This priority, in the eyes of the red lady, is naturally the most important thing to ensure the safety of the soldiers. However, for Li Zicheng, it is obvious that the lives of these soldiers are far less important than catching the Ming Emperor.
Therefore, Li Zicheng's face was very ugly.
That's the Ming Emperor, so I missed it. If Chongzhen is captured, he will be able to march into Beijing without much effort. When the time comes, ascending to the throne will no longer be a dream.
What did he fight all his life for? At first, it was true that he just couldn't survive anymore, just to make ends meet. However, people change over time and with changes in identity. Today's Li Zicheng is already the king of Chuang, and he is also the number one person in the world, and then up, that is the emperor.
Who doesn't want to be an emperor?
But now, the best opportunity has slipped away from the fingertips.
How can Li Zicheng not be angry?
"Red lady, if you let Chongzhen go, can you be guilty?" Li Zicheng's voice was very low, which showed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
What, let Chongzhen go?
At this time, the other generals learned about the situation just now from the mouths of the cavalry.
Chongzhen turned out to be a royal driver and personally went to the battlefield to kill the enemy. And they almost surrounded Chongzhen just now.
Just because the red lady ordered not to chase, let Chongzhen run away!
Wife...... You made a big mistake this time! Li Yan also sighed in his heart. He knows Li Zicheng's character, he is stubborn and self-serving, and he will not listen to other people's explanations, especially in this case. Even if it is him, he will not hesitate to send troops forward and seize Chongzhen at all costs.
Probably, this is the difference between a man and a woman. Women, even generals on the battlefield, must always be soft-hearted.
However, you are reluctant to give up the lives of these soldiers, and King Chuang may not be able to bypass your lives! Li Yan was also summoned in his heart, and his mind kept turning, thinking of a way.
On the other side, other generals also scolded:
"Red lady, you actually let Chongzhen go, what are your intentions?"
"That's right, if you catch Chongzhen, do you still need to fight in this Beijing city? As long as you let that dog emperor write a Zen book, the world will be ours. β
"One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds!" someone deliberately crepe and sighed to the sky.
"I'm not wrong!" the red lady was very stubborn and explained: "The Ming army has ground fire mines, and most of the cavalry will be killed and injured in an instant, and I am responsible for the soldiers." They have followed me for many years, and they see that the world is about to be defeated, and they can enjoy the glory and wealth, how can I let them die at this juncture?"
Hearing this, Li Zicheng's face became more and more gloomy. If the red lady admits her mistake, then it's okay to say, but this is a face that is not given to him if she understands it. In the middle of resisting himself, where is his prestige? Moreover, seeing the eyes of those cavalry soldiers looking at the red lady full of reverence, he became more and more unhappy in his heart.
However, before Li Zicheng could speak, the other generals attacked one after another.
"Red lady, you said that there is a ground fire mine in front, and now that the fire horse array has broken through, what about the ground fire mine?"
The red lady has no way to argue. She was only suspicious, who knew that Chongzhen had only buried this part of the fire mine?
One of them, carrying a big knife with a ring head, and a beard on his face, sneered: "This girl came earlier than us, 10,000 people were run away by dozens of people from the Dog Emperor, I think, maybe there is some shady deal with the Dog Emperor, maybe we will be sold a long time ago, just waiting to give the Dog Emperor a reward!"
"Liu Zhongmin, don't spew blood!" The red lady said angrily, "I am loyal to King Chuang, when I followed King Chuang, what were you?"
Next to him, a sneer came: "Maybe the red lady saw that the emperor's skin and tender flesh softened." Anyway, she likes this bite. β
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yan a few times. Everyone knows that Li Yan is a weak scholar, and he was robbed of his husband by the red lady who broke into his home, which was deliberately ridiculing the two.
Li Yan didn't get angry, but sighed slightly in his heart. These guys, seeing that Beijing City is in front of them, feel that the world is already in the bag, and at this time, they begin to exclude dissidents and fight in the nest. You know, the city of Beijing is not broken yet. King Chuang did not ascend the throne in the first dynasty, and the world does not know whose it is. Besides, even if you ascend to the throne, you have to be more and more cautious, and if you can go up, you can come down.
However, just because he can think like this doesn't mean that others can be sober-minded.
Faced with the city of Beijing at hand, the emperor's throne within reach, the vast majority of people in the world find it difficult to keep a clear head.
Li Zicheng is no exception.
At this time, Li Zicheng's face was pale, and his breathing became heavy, if he hadn't cared about Li Yan, at this time, he couldn't help but push the red lady out and behead.
Li Yan has followed Li Zicheng for many years, and naturally saw that Li Zicheng was extremely angry, and he was also worried that Li Zicheng would deal with the red lady when he was angry, so he hurriedly said: "King Chuang, please don't be angry." At present, the great enemy is at hand, Beijing City is within reach, even if Chongzhen is allowed to return to the city, it is just to leave his life alive for a few more days, if he changes generals in battle, it will definitely hurt morale and the morale of the army is unstable!"
Li Zicheng naturally knew this, and Li Yan couldn't help but give face, so he snorted coldly and said, "Red lady, let's write down today's events for the time being, and then count them together after the city of Beijing is broken!"
The red lady gritted her teeth, stubbornly holding her head and refusing to admit her mistake, Li Yan hurriedly said: "The lady will definitely atone for her sins!"
Li Zicheng snorted undeniably, and immediately waved his hand, and the army marched towards the city of Beijing.
