But the facts are the facts, Lu Xiangsheng died, after everyone confirmed it again and again, and saw that the information was written, at that time, tens of thousands of people gathered in the capital to see Lu Xiangsheng's head cut off, they definitely didn't lie like this, and finally Li Zicheng and others believed it, and after believing it, it was ecstasy, and it was the kind of irrepressible ecstasy from the heart.

Since Li Zicheng's uprising, he has fought with many people, and he fought with Yang He in Shaanxi at the earliest, and then Hong Chengchou, and then Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, these generals who led the troops, but after so many years of fighting, what impressed him the most was Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army fought, there is a posture of playing with you, he may not be strong, but you can't stand playing with you.

Hong Chengchou's military ability is there, and he also put a lot of pressure on Li Zicheng at the beginning, but compared with Lu Xiangsheng, he seems to be very soft, and some battles that are not very advantageous will protect their lives, and they will leave themselves a great respite for the rebel army.

But Lu Xiangsheng won't, Lu Xiangsheng doesn't want to die at all when he fights, that posture is that you don't want my life, I want your life, we must die today.

This style of play has made Li Zicheng suffer a lot of losses, Li Zicheng has been circulating all over the country for so many years, and the only one who has given himself this kind of pressure in the military is Lantian.

Of course, Lantian and Lu Xiangsheng's playing style is different, the reason why Lantian Army dares to fight hard is because of their excellent equipment, as long as they are serious, the peasant army can only be slaughtered, and Lu Xiangsheng is even if my equipment does not crush you, I dare to play with my life, and play a state where my equipment seems to crush you.

And Lu Xiangsheng's military ability is really good, the Tianxiong army of more than 30,000 people once gave Li Zicheng a very memorable defeat, if it wasn't for Liu Zongmin, Li Shichao sacrificed his life to save him, I'm afraid that his grave grass is more than a foot high.

Now that Lu Xiangsheng is dead, he is ready to use the flooding of the Yellow River to raise a million righteous army again, so that he is not invincible, God bless my righteous army.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng laughed: "Hahaha, okay, it's really God bless my righteous army, it's really God bless my righteous army, now Lu Xiangsheng is dead, Daming has no this white jade pillar in the sky, and the sea purple gold beam, from now on, this big tomorrow, you and I will gallop, hahaha......"

After listening to Li Zicheng's words, everyone shouted in unison: "Long live the king, long live the righteous army, long live the king of Chuang, long live the righteous army." ”

The valley shook with everyone's shouts, and for a while everyone was full of hope for the future, and even more thought that this was the destiny of heaven, and it was the testimony that God was ready to give this world to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's side was already ready to start celebrating, and on the other side, Zhang Xianzhong, who was also a major force in the rogue, also got the news that Lu Xiangsheng was beheaded.

Zhang Xianzhong's current life is aggrieved, he feels that he has been tricked by Yang Sichang, he thought that Yang Sichang, as his good ally, would definitely give himself a good home in the case of his failure to attack Lantian, divide himself into a good territory, and let himself be the emperor here, but he miscalculated.

He overestimated his use value in the eyes of Yang Sichang, he thought that he could become Yang Sichang's arm outside the court, in the future he was outside, Yang Sichang was inside, the two of them colluded inside and outside, echoed each other from afar, became bigger and stronger, and created brilliance.

But what?

Yang Sichang only regarded him as a high-level tool man, when he first beat Lantian, the relationship between the two was like glue, Yang Sichang tried his best to meet Zhang Xianzhong's requirements, and could even unite the courtiers to put pressure on Chongzhen, so that Chongzhen made a compromise and made a decision against his ancestors to recruit Zhang Xianzhong.

However, after the first battle of Tongqian Pass, Zhang Xianzhong was killed by Lantian by throwing away his armor, which fully showed the fact that his use value was low.

What to say about this place, poor mountains and bad waters, and it is poor mountains and bad waters to the extreme, before Zhang Xianzhong came, the people in this county were almost gone, and when Zhang Xianzhong came, there were almost no people in this county.

Zhang Xianzhong asked the court for a place in order to live a good life, to exploit the people, to enjoy peace, to be a master, not to come to Gu County to open up wasteland and farm, so Zhang Xianzhong was quite uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to disagree, because the court was very dark, after sending Zhang Xianzhong, he immediately sent Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting's Qin army stared at his door every day, as long as he was a little troubled, he was ready to suppress himself at any time.

It stands to reason that his dignified Eight Kings should not be afraid of Sun Chuanting, but theory is theory, facts, he is really afraid of Sun Chuanting, no way, the soldiers under Sun Chuanting are all Lantian soldiers, and it is said that there are some firearms supported by Lantian in his hand, Zhang Xianzhong is really afraid of Lantian in his bones.

Therefore, when Sun Chuanting was here, he was honestly pretending to be a grandson, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the slightest, it can be said that he has had a very hard time for more than a year.

Moreover, Li Dingguo's rebellion made Zhang Xianzhong have obvious shortcomings in the military, so this year, Zhang Xianzhong was a man with his tail between his legs, while trying to find a way to let his subordinates go to the fields and plant some food for himself to starve to death, while rectifying the military internally, and establishing a battle sequence with Sun Kewang as the main commander, Liu Wenxiu as the staff officer, and Ai Nengqi as the forward officer.

After doing all this, Zhang Xianzhong waited for the opportunity to rebel again.

Rebellion must be a rebellion, after all, he Zhang Xianzhong's dignified eight kings can't die of old age in this ravine, he wants to be a master, not a village chief in this ravine, which is completely inconsistent with his political ambitions, and his ambition to be prosperous and rich.

So he Zhang Xianzhong tried his courage by lying on his salary, pretending to be a grandson here for more than a year, and finally waited for the opportunity, the Tartars entered the Central Plains, Shandong was in an emergency, and the Dog Emperor panicked and transferred Sun Chuanting, who was guarding Hubei, away.

Even if the seal sealed on Zhang Xianzhong's body was lifted at this moment, as soon as Sun Chuanting was transferred, Zhang Xianzhong began to organize people to prepare for a rebellion, he didn't want to stay in this damn Gu County anymore, he wanted to change places, change to the place of his dreams, Sichuan.

That's right, Zhang Xianzhong is a single-minded person, since the rebellion, he has always wanted to enter Sichuan, and has never changed, Zhang Xianzhong has this clear understanding of himself, and feels that he cannot become the overlord of the Central Plains, and he may not be able to do Li Zicheng, an opponent, so he has always wanted to enter Sichuan, as long as he enters Sichuan, he feels that he is invincible.

Sichuan is not only the country of abundance, rich in materials, but also has Shu Road, easy to defend and difficult to attack, get Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong has a sense of security, at least Sichuan in hand, even in the face of the extremely vicious Lantian County, he is not without the power of self-preservation.

And Zhang Xianzhong wants to drill into Sichuan, and an important reason why he does not plot the Central Plains is the rise of Lantian, which is going straight to unify the world, if Zhang Xianzhong wants to plot the world, not only against Li Zicheng, against the Ming army, against the Tartars, and even against Lantian.

Zhang Xianzhong found in a comprehensive comparison that among these forces, it seems that his strength is the weakest.

So it's better to drill directly into Sichuan and be the king of Sichuan.

As for the Qin Liangyu in Sichuan, the old woman Qin, this is not important in Zhang Xianzhong's opinion, no matter how fierce an old woman is, can she be more fierce than Lantian?

Therefore, when Zhang Xianzhong took Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi to plan to enter Sichuan, the messenger sent this important information back, and Lu Xiangsheng was beheaded by Chongzhen.

Zhang Xianzhong was also very surprised when he heard the news, but after being surprised, he didn't feel as incredible as Li Zicheng, on the contrary, he even understood Chongzhen's approach, no matter how capable a general is, if he is not of the same heart as himself, then he must be killed.

For example, wasn't this how he treated Li Dingguo back then?

Li Dingguo's status in Zhang Xianzhong's army was even more important than Lu Xiangsheng's in the Ming Dynasty, but didn't he take him down cleanly, and he could almost be killed?

It's a pity that the chess was a bad move, so that Li Dingguo ran away, but when he arrived in Lantian, he became his own confidant, empathy, if he Zhang Xianzhong is Chongzhen, he gave Lu Xiangsheng several orders, he still resisted and did not obey the order, then he must not have the slightest appeasement to Lu Xiangsheng, after all, a disobedient general is an unstable time bomb for the monarch.

Zhang Xianzhong listened to the messenger's report, a complicated expression flashed on his face, and after a long time, Zhang Xianzhong smiled: "What, what do you think about Lu Xiangsheng's death?" ”

After listening to Zhang Xianzhong's question, Liu Wenxiu said: "Lu Xiangsheng is one of the few generals who can fight in the Ming Dynasty now, and now the faint monarch kills him, which is equivalent to cutting off his arm, and then when the war starts, there is a dog emperor crying." ”

Ai Nengqi said: "Lu Xiangsheng is a character, it's a pity. ”

Zhang Xianzhong was not very satisfied with what the two of them said, these things had little to do with him Zhang Xianzhong, and he didn't take it to heart, he was more interested in what positive impact this matter had on him.

Zhang Xianzhong turned his head to look at Sun Kewang, who he had high hopes for, Sun Kewang was worthy of being the No. 1 seed player under Zhang Xianzhong, and said at the moment when Zhang Xianzhong saw it: "Father-in-law, I think Lu Xiangsheng's death is a great opportunity for us. ”

"Oh, how so?"

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang groaned, clarified his thoughts and said: "Father-in-law, first of all, from the overall point of view, Lu Xiangsheng died as soon as Daming lacked a general, and Lu Xiangsheng died with the Tianxiong Army this time, without the Tianxiong Army, there would be no one to guard Xuanfu Datong, and if you want to guard a border pass like Xuanda, you must choose a good general, and at present, the entire Ming Dynasty can take on this responsibility Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting." ”

Liu Wenxiu heard this and said: "Isn't Shandong Liu Zeqing good? ”

Sun Kewang said: "This person is ambitious and talented, and he is not useful, Chongzhen is not stupid, he knows that the border is important, and he must send a reliable general, so he will choose one of Sun Chuanting and Zuo Liangyu!" ”

Ai Nengqi said: "Then who will he choose, if he chooses Sun Chuanting." ”

Sun Kewang said: "He must choose Sun Chuanting, now in Chongzhen's eyes, there are two unstable factors in the world, one is the Tartar of Liaodong, and the other is Lantian in the northwest, Liaodong Needless to say, hundreds of thousands of troops are looking there, and Lantian must also choose a general to monitor from the side, this person Chongzhen can't send a wine bag and rice bag over, so he must choose from Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting." ”

"And these two people, Sun Chuanting is close to Lantian, and the Qin army under his command is full of Lantian people, Chongzhen does not dare to risk letting Sun Chuanting monitor them, after all, they cannot be ruled out of suspicion of self-theft."

"And Zuo Liangyu is so good, the last time Zuo Liangyu and Yang Sichang, as well as our plot against Lantian County, were killed by Li Chaosheng, and only left him a useless son, which can be described as cruel, and even blinded Zuo Liangyu in one eye. Such a deep hatred in the sea of blood, in Chongzhen's eyes, is a reliable performance, so if Chongzhen does not make a faint move, he will definitely send Sun Chuanting to succeed him as the governor of Xuanda and consolidate the border defense, Zuo Liangyu continued to garrison Tongguan and looked at Li Chaosheng. ”

Listening to Sun Kewang's words, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes became sharp, and he said with a smile: "Oh, Kewang, you mean that Sun Chuanting is going to be transferred out of Hubei." ”

Sun Kewang said with a smile: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

The corners of Zhang Xianzhong's mouth cracked and said: "That's great, as long as Sun Chuanting, this old man, leaves Hubei, we don't have to be trapped in Gu County, and when the time comes, we will reorganize the army and recast the hegemony." ”

Sun Kewang said: "The righteous father is right, and this is not the best, the best thing is that as soon as Lu Xiangsheng dies, there will be no general in the Central Plains who can take charge alone, at this time, the old opponent of the righteous father will not watch it, and there will definitely be some incidents." ”

"Oh, you're saying that Li Zicheng will make trouble again?"

Sun Kewang said: "As long as Li Zicheng still wants to rebel, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, he Li Hongji is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he must not be able to bear loneliness, he will definitely make trouble again, he will definitely be." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said excitedly, he knows Li Zicheng too well, although he and Li Zicheng don't look at each other well, and even hate each other, but they are also the people who know each other best, they are all people who are unwilling to be mediocre, if the opportunity is right, they will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong said: "Li Zicheng revolted again in Shanxi, then his goal must be to the east, to the west is Lantian, he Li Zicheng does not have the courage to fight with Lantian, so his target must be Henan, Shandong, when the time comes, Li Zicheng will mix the water of the Central Plains, we can take the opportunity to start an incident and attack Sichuan, at that time, the forces of the Ming Dynasty must be concentrated in the Central Plains, and there is no air traffic control for us, we can calmly attack Sichuan, enter Sichuan, and our good days will come." ”

Hearing this, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi's eyes lit up, if they take Sichuan, they will have a base, and a better day is coming!
