"Bai Gu, in your opinion, what will Li Zicheng do next?"

Hong Chengchou broke the silence in the tent with his words and asked about the strategy.

No one can say clearly about the disputes in the court.

Usually right and wrong are not the truth.

As a governor, it is already a blessing to be able to manage the territory under his authority.

What happened between Nanzhili and Jingshi can be put aside for the time being, and the top priority now is to solve the remnants of the army that are now entrenched in the central and southern parts of Gongchang Mansion and the northwest of Hanzhong Prefecture.

Sun Chuanting was still in the previous state, his expression was still gloomy, and he had not yet eased up, but he did not ignore Hong Chengchou's problem.

"According to the students, this time it should only be an expedient measure to break into the remnants of the thieves and join forces in one place, and then enter Fengxiang in the west, lurking in the deep mountains and giant valleys."

"Although there are nearly 20,000 soldiers in each battalion in the province today, they are still stretched thin when they are distributed among the mountains of various passes."

"The students thought that Li Chuang was waiting for us to wait for the attack and then find an opportunity to counterattack, or wait until our soldiers were sleepy and tired, and then go out of the mountains."

Hong Chengchou bowed slightly, his views coincided with Sun Chuanting.

Li Zicheng should be hiding in the deep mountains and giant valleys now to wait for an opportunity, and when they show fatigue or fail to attack, it will be the same as before.

Sun Chuanting's words are very right, Qindi is mountainous, and the Liukou are nested in the mountains, and the Liukou are familiar with the terrain and landforms, and they can go out wantonly among the mountains, but they can't divide their troops to block everywhere.

Entering the mountains to suppress, the situation is unknown, although there are guides, but the rogues have occupied it for a long time, they are naturally prepared, and if they are not careful, they will be transferred into the encirclement set up early.

Even if they were cautious and evaded many traps, the main force of the rogues had already fled.

There is no way to find the main force of the rogue at all, and it will only make the generals in the army more tired.

The first time I went into the crackdown, it was because of this that I failed.

Then Li Zicheng found an opportunity, went east out of Gongchang Mansion, and directly entered Xi'an Mansion and Gao Yingde and other troops through Fengxiang Mansion to join forces.

Hong Chengchou's eyes condensed slightly, and he muttered for a while, and then said with a beard.

"You say, is it possible for the thieves to go to Hanzhong Mansion?"

Sun Chuanting was about to shake his head and veto, but in the end, his expression became solemn.

"Indeed...... There is a possibility ......"

Sun Chuanting's expression was solemn and he said in a deep voice.

"Hanzhong Town was first built, the garrison battalion has not been recruited, the generals have not been assigned, everything in the town has not been dealt with, and now there are only two battalions of Chen Wang and Zhou Yumao in Hanzhong Mansion, and the Hanzhong Guard Army is weak and difficult to rely on, and there are only more than 1,000 people in the main army."

"If the rogue attacks Hanzhong Mansion, I'm afraid that Hanzhong Mansion will be very troublesome......"

The total number of battalion soldiers under Chen Wang and Zhou Yumao is only 5,000, and there are 8,000 people including auxiliary soldiers, which sounds like a lot, but Sun Chuanting is not optimistic about the actual combat strength.

And this is still data on paper, it is the norm for all battalions and armies to eat empty salaries, and Chen Wang should not be an exception.

I am afraid that there should only be more than 4,000 people with combat strength, and there are tens of thousands of elite cavalry troops under Li Zicheng's command, even if they hold the dangerous pass, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop.

Chen Wang rectified the situation of the guard during this time, and Sun Chuanting also had a general understanding.

Chen Wang chose to directly rebuild the health center, recruit displaced people, and start from scratch directly.

I have to say that it is a clever approach, and it is also quite effective.

The money to build the city was a problem, but Chen Wang sent troops to suppress the thieves in the mountains and forests of Hanzhong Mansion, and seized the dirty silver from the hands of those mountain bandits.

The bandits in Hanzhong Mansion are now at the beginning of peace, and Sun Chuanting has verified these things, and the soldiers under Chen Wang's command have indeed exterminated a lot of old bandits, captured and killed all of them, and hung their heads to show the public.

Now the security of Hanzhong Mansion has even improved a lot, many small-scale merchant convoys have dared to go on the road, and the circulation of goods in Hanzhong Mansion has also begun to recover.

Chen Wang's method is good, and the governance is quite effective, but the two acropolis have only been built for a short time, and the city wall facilities in many places have not been repaired, and most of the soldiers have only received short-term training, and these soldiers are temporarily useless.

Hong Chengchou's eyes moved slightly, and he frowned.

Sun Chuanting's sudden statement that this situation is indeed very likely to occur, and Hanzhong Mansion cannot be regarded as impregnable.

After entering Hanzhong Mansion, Liukou can enter Yunxiang and Huguang all the way east.

Lu Xiangsheng led his troops north, and Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to break through the encirclement network, and now the barrier between Yunxiang and Xiangxiang has come to naught.

Once Li Zicheng really entered Hanzhong Mansion and then went to Yunxiang, then everything they had done before would be useless......

……

"Now Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, the two thieves, have led troops to gather, the officers and soldiers are strong, and the spirit is flourishing, we will first rely on the steps, the mountains and the officers and soldiers to maneuver, and wait until their sharp spirit gradually fades and morale is low, and then we will suddenly send troops."

Li Zicheng leaned on the wooden table with one hand, and pointed to the location of the Hanzhong Mansion on the map on the table with the other.

"Divide the troops into two routes, one is mixed with 100,000 people, the little red wolf goes down to Jitou Pass from Feng County, and the other way is led by King Renyi and General Manager Qi from Luoyang to Chencang Road to attack Chu County."

"Mixed 100,000, little red wolf."

Li Zicheng turned his head to look in the direction of his right hand.

On the right side of the table, there stood a black-faced man with a full beard, and a young man dressed in a red suit, the two of them were the bastard 100,000 and the little red wolf.

"The two of you will play the banner of Gao Yingde and the scorpion block, and I will give you the hungry soldiers of your 20,000 infantry team, and you must raise the banner and create momentum all the way south."

"King Renyi, Chief Manager Qi, play my banner, go from Lüyang, don't cover up, let go of the military flag, and go all the way east to capture Lüyang."

"In the south of Gongchang Mansion, half of the hungry infantry soldiers were left to deal with the officers and soldiers, and the rest of the hungry infantry were all handed over to King Renyi to lead the attack on Hanzhong Mansion."

Li Zicheng put down the horsewhip in his hand, covered the map in front of him, raised his head, looked around at the people in front of him, and laughed coldly.

"Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, two old thieves, set up an ambush and built a village around, and they want to trap us in Gongchang Mansion."

"Some time ago, we took Luoyang and Fengxian, they should have attracted attention, I'm afraid to guess that we want to attack Hanzhong Mansion."

Li Zicheng lowered his head, and his gaze did not fall on Hanzhong Mansion, but on the bottom of Hanzhong Mansion, Baoning Mansion in Sichuan Province.

His original plan was indeed to go through Hanzhong Mansion and then go to Yunxiang and Xiang, or go north into Henan, or south into the hinterland of Huguang.

But a message I received some time ago made him change all his plans - Sichuan is empty!

Tomorrow, I will write down the current establishment of Chen Wangjun.
