Chapter 619: Cao Huachun's tricks
"Fake?!" Quan
Li Zicheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Yan stupidly, Li Yan smiled and said: "That's right, King Chuang, it's fake, it doesn't matter if he Li Chaosheng doesn't come, we can also send someone to play a show of Li Chaosheng coming to participate in the grand event, what we want is Li Chaosheng's reputation and influence, and we want him to help us attract the attention of the imperial court."
"Let's make a fake, let's release the news that Li Chaosheng is secretly coming to our Luoyang Conference, who can know if it's true or not? And even if someone uses Li Chaosheng's announcement as a reason, we can reply to him directly, just say that Li Chaosheng is afraid that the court will blame him, so he issued the announcement, wanting to confuse the public, but in fact, he has already come secretly, but he just doesn't want the court to know."
"This ...... Will it work?"
Li Zicheng was a little unconfident, raised his eyes and looked at Niu Jinxing who was standing on the side and didn't speak, regardless of whether it was Song Xiance or Li Yan, in fact, in Li Zicheng's heart, he was not as good as Niu Jinxing, after all, this was his first strategist, the first strategist to defect to him, and he even once told someone that this was a certain Li Shanchang.
Listen, Niu Jinxing is comparable to Li Shanchang, which is enough to see Li Zicheng's trust in him.
Niu Jinxing smiled at this time: "King Chuang, Brother Li is quick to think, this plan is very good, it can be used."
Li Zicheng looked at Song Xiance again, what did Mr. Song think? Quan
Song Xiance thought for a while and said: "This plan is very good, but there is still room for improvement, this is a little difficult to convince the public by directly pretending to be Li Chaosheng, after all, Li Chaosheng is known for being cautious, and I have never heard of this man coming out of Lantian Lao's nest for so many years, let's directly say that he came to participate in the grand event, and others may not believe it."
"That's right, what does the gentleman mean?"
Song Xiance said with a smile: "I heard that Lantian is the leader of the Li family, since Li Chao was born, there are also Li Chaolong, Li Chaohu, and other Li clan relatives, especially this Li Chaolong, who is Li Chaosheng's cousin, I heard that in the Lantian army, Li Chaosheng still has to listen to Li Chaolong for three points, so I think this kind of thing, it is better for Li Chaolong to come forward, and Li Chaolong will participate in this gathering instead of Li Chaosheng, which is more credible."
"Well, Mr. Song's words are more appropriate, Li Chaolong came to participate in the grand event, but he is more credible than Li Chaosheng, I am not thoughtful about King Chuang, and I ask King Chuang to surrender."
"Hey, the three gentlemen are all giving advice to a certain family, what a crime, but the plan of the three gentlemen is very good, pass on my handsome order, on the ninth Double Ninth Day of the first month of September, the Luoyang Conference, and participate in the righteous act, by the way, next to my seat, put a seat, find someone to pretend to be Li Chaolong, and implement today's plan."
"It's King Chuang."
The three of them clenched their fists in unison. Quan
"Hahaha...... Okay, okay, I'll see how you Li Chaosheng deal with this plan, this is called mud falling into the crotch of your pants, it's not but is, hahaha......
Li Zicheng laughed heartily, very happy.
And Li Chaosheng's reaction quickly reached Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting has been in a mess recently, and the reason is not Li Zicheng, but many warlords in Henan.
The Ming army in Henan is now as high as 200,000, including 50,000 or 60,000 people left by Yang Sichang, as well as troops from all walks of life, as well as Zuo Liangyu's troops who recently came in from Tongguan, more than 200,000 people and horses, large and small, gathered in Henan, but Sun Chuanting, the governor of Henan, can command only 10,000 horses under his command, saying that he is the governor of Henan, in fact, he is also the chief military officer.
The rest of the army, for example, the mess left by Yang Sichang, He Renlong guarded the south of Henan, did not move an inch, did not respect orders, and did not march, and there was already a momentum of secession.
And He Renlong didn't move, and Yang Sichang's old troops didn't move, they didn't move, and the rest of the troops who came to the vast expanse also stopped to watch the excitement.
Sun Chuanting was originally going to study the killing of He Renlong, to kill chickens and monkeys, so as to order the Henan army, but halfway through the implementation of the plan, Zuo Liangyu came. Quan
Zuo Liangyu also has a good relationship with He Renlong, as soon as Zuo Liangyu came to the battlefield in Henan, he directly got together with He Renlong, these two bastards were embarrassed as women, colluded together, and directly united a small circle that excluded Sun Chuanting, and set Sun Chuanting, the governor of Henan, into the air.
And what about the imperial court?
Since Zuo Liangyu entered Henan, it was a reminder document a day, urging Sun Chuanting to recover Luoyang as soon as possible, annihilate the Liukou, and capture Li Chuang alive.
Isn't that just fart?
Is Li Chuang so easy to beat? Li Zicheng occupies Luoyang, the foundation has been completed, if you want to cut it off, it is not a day's work, how can you succeed in a hasty war, not to mention that the entire Henan army does not obey his own command, can he rely on the Qin army of 10,000 people under his command to defeat Li Zicheng's 400,000 horses? Is this possible?
But the imperial court also has the hardships of the imperial court, there is no money, the finance has jumped, this war is to ask for money, the Luoyang battlefield consumes a day, then the imperial court will have to take out a large amount of silver, which has made the imperial court's finances, which are not rich, worse again.
The imperial court can't afford to spend it, the treasury and the internal treasury are all emptied, and if it continues to be consumed, the country will have to be ruined. Quan
Sometimes looking at the history of the late Ming Dynasty, I always feel that Emperor Chongzhen is ***, obviously fighting a war that can be won steadily, he has to urge, and this urging will lead to the change of the entire war situation and a big defeat.
Is that really Chongzhen***?
In fact, no, to investigate the root cause, or the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty, a war of attrition, Chongzhen can't bear it, presumably before these wars, Chongzhen also convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss countermeasures, the result is, to fight a war of attrition, we can't afford to fight, the Ming Dynasty will lose.
If you rush now, maybe there will be a miracle, and you can also play an advantage, fight quickly, and solve the battle.
Under these two conditions, let you choose, how do you choose?
I feel like most people will choose the second option, after all, the second option still has a 1 percent chance of winning.
So when Zuo Liangyu entered the battlefield in Henan, the court frantically urged, no hurry, no money, the clothes worn by the emperor were almost exposed, and there were patches on them, the emperor wore such clothes, how could you make the ministers embarrassed to put their silk and satin on their bodies, and they had to go to the subordinates to borrow dirty clothes, or throw the new clothes on the ground and step on them a few times, and then put on the patches, and wear good clothes as rags. Quan
Otherwise, in the court, once the poor emperor asks for money with himself, what should he say, he can't say it, so the Ming Dynasty is now in the court, the emperor is really poor, the ministers pretend to be poor, and they unanimously declare that they have no money.
Therefore, when Sun Chuanting heard that Li Zicheng was preparing to convene the Chongyang Luoyang Conference, Sun Chuanting's heart thumped at that time, it was over, the imperial court would definitely take this opportunity to force itself to send troops, after all, the anti-thieves held the conference so openly, that is a contempt for the imperial power, Chongzhen must not be able to do it.
And the princes of the imperial court will also take the opportunity to find a way to force Sun Chuanting to send troops to get rid of this big burden.
Sun Chuanting felt bad, he was afraid that this time he would be more than lucky, and the Qin army of 10,000 people would fight with Li Zicheng with 400,000 people, and he would fight forty times, so if you think about it, you will know the consequences.
However, Sun Chuanting heard that Li Zicheng also invited Li Chaosheng, and named Li Chaosheng the king of Guanzhong, after hearing the news, Sun Chuanting smiled and smiled very happily, this Li Zicheng is also a fool, Li Chaosheng is also a fool, pretentious, self-proclaimed high, even the emperor in his eyes, is just Erer, you are a rogue from a rogue background, just occupied Luoyang, after a few days of full food, you dare to put yourself and Li Chaosheng side by side, this Li Zicheng also wants to be blind.
Sun Chuanting still knows Lantian very well through his relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, he is a person who knows Li Chaosheng's background, and naturally knows how powerful Lantian is.
Li Zicheng is in the eyes of Lantian people, he is just a stinky person who wants food, a stinky person who wants food, what are you crazy about? Quan
Especially when people heard that Li Zicheng actually made a bold statement that he wanted Li Chaosheng to be the second king and Li Zicheng to be the youngest, Sun Chuanting laughed so much that he almost turned his back on it.
What is this called, a stinky man saw a rich man, and said to the rich man, you can mix with me in the future, I will let you be the second leader of our gang.
In fact, this rich man drops a little scum casually, which is enough for these beggars to eat for a day.
This Li Zicheng is really a toad swallowing the sky, what a big breath.
Sure enough, soon the news came back again, Li Chao
Sheng sternly rejected Li Zicheng's invitation, and repeatedly emphasized that he was the county commander of the Ming Dynasty, not the king of Guanzhong, please pay attention to your words.
As for Li Zicheng's so-called matter of letting Li Chaosheng be the second generation of kings, Li Chaosheng didn't pay attention to him at all, just like Guo Degang said, an expert who launched rockets, heard Zhang San say that to launch a rocket, you must first hold firewood, light it with a match, and the rocket will ascend to the sky.
In the same way, Li Zicheng wants Li Chaosheng to be the second child, if Li Chaosheng follows this line of thought and breaks with Li Zicheng, I have to be the boss, I am so good, even if Li Chaosheng wins, he will lose. Quan
The two of them are not at the same starting line at all now, what does Li Chaosheng do with him, isn't this lowering his status?
The best way to deal with a guy who doesn't know what to do is to ignore it.
I won't care about you at all, and I want to emphasize that my identity, Lantian County Order, is, now Lantian is a bit big, including the whole of Shaanxi, half of Hubei, half of Gansu, and a large area of territory, but what?
I'm still a county magistrate, but the territory is bigger, can't I?
This is to clearly block the mouths of the people in the world, and it is also to give the court a step down, so that the main contradiction of the court is still on the Liukou, and it cannot turn to deal with Lantian.
Li Chaosheng's policy of raising obscurity, building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king's reign is really useful, and with this trick over the years, Lantian has developed into a behemoth that everyone needs to look up to.
"Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng, this world must be your Lantian after all!" Quan
Sun Chuanting sighed.
This world is placed on the chessboard, it is Li Chaosheng's chess piece, Li Zicheng is, Zhang Xianzhong is, he is, I am afraid that even His Majesty is Li Chaosheng's chess piece.
With the world as the chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, the first son fell to the northwest, entrenched in a corner, and then swallowed the world, so courageous, so courageous!
Living in the same dynasty with this person, sad, fortunate!
Sun Chuanting looked up to the sky and sighed, helpless, but more admired.
Sun Chuanting thinks that he is also talented, and he is rich in five cars, but compared with Li Chaosheng, he is a scumbag, and he obtained the first force from a local militia group through the annexation of bandits, and then with the help of the Shaanxi disaster in those years, he used his relationship with Hong Chengchou to obtain a county commander position.
Since then, it has been out of control, in the position of the county order, the wind and water have been doing well, and in just a few years, the entire Lantian County has become the first county of Shaanxi Road, and then began to develop its reputation, build water conservancy, train the army, and develop science and technology. Quan
You just put his successful experience here, and you may not be able to do so well by copying it.
Sun Chuanting was convinced, he stood up and looked at the sword hanging on the shelf behind him, he knew that after the ninth double yang in September, the imperial court would definitely go crazy and ask himself to attack Luoyang, because the impact of this matter was too bad, if he couldn't eliminate Li Zicheng as soon as possible, then the world's anti-imperial court rogues would appear like carp crossing the river, and the imperial court would not be able to withstand such an impact.
Therefore, Your Majesty, as well as the guilds of the imperial court, tried their best to let themselves attack Luoyang, but now on the battlefield in Henan, who listens to themselves, and the fiasco should be the only ending at that time.
Thinking of Sun Chuanting, he sighed abruptly: "Hey, Sun Mou has been eating the king's Lu for twenty years, and he really deserves to repay him with his life."
Thinking about it, Sun Chuanting pulled out his sword and said, "Kill the thief! Serve the country, return the horse leather shroud! Happy, happy......"
Lantian, Xi'an Mansion, Princess Xingyuan, this was originally Li Chaosheng's other courtyard in Xi'an Mansion, but now it is left for Zhu Yujiao to live.
In the park, Gonggong Cao listened to the news reported by Jinyiwei, and his face was gloomy and terrible. Quan
"Li Zicheng is going to hold an anti-king conference, and he also made an appointment with Li Chaosheng!"
Zhu Yujiao on the side also turned pale, is Li Chaosheng already ready to rebel?
"Yes, father-in-law, but Li Chaosheng did not agree, but issued an announcement saying that he will always be the county commander of the Ming Dynasty."
"Hoo ......"
Zhu Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief, but Cao Huachun said with a cold face: "Hmph, who doesn't know how to say the scene, it's me who thinks too much, then Li Chaosheng's eyes are above the top, how can he be in the same stream as the rogue, but Li Zicheng's convening of the conference is also a blow to Daming, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you still have to make an appointment with Li Chaosheng."
Zhu Yujiao heard this: "Father-in-law, then Li Chaosheng obviously doesn't want to marry me, I haven't seen him many times, even if I do, how can I let him marry me?"
Cao Huachun heard this: "It's okay, I have a plan, when Li Chaosheng is willing to meet you alone, you will tear off your clothes and say that he is rude to the princess, and when the princess is innocent, he Li Chaosheng will have to be responsible, let's force him to marry you, the princess." Quan
"Huh? This ......."
Zhu Yujiao's face turned pale when she heard this.
